Bobby Bare Day The Saw Mill Closed Down Lyrics

Day The Saw Mill Closed Down Lyrics

Her house on the corner of Cedar and Elm

Still stands in our town

But it's been empty since she moved away

The day that the saw mill closed down



We'd sit on her porch almost every night

I remember how happy we were

We'd grow up and marry

I'd work at the mill to make a living for her



Her father worked at the mill

Like most of the others in town

I lost my girl when he lost his job

The day that the saw mill closed down



She moved from the corner of Cedar and Elm

And I never saw her again

But I can still hear her mother's soft voice

Saying, '€œHoney it's time to come in'€?



No longer do mill hands live here

The giant saws don't make a sound

No longer does my love live here

Not since the saw mill closed down



She left when the saw mill closed down
