They're Tearin' The Labor Camps Down
E A E
I came back to California cause my home was here
B E
To look up my old sweetheart just for fun
A E
Mom and Dad had both passed on in two short years
B E
While my patriotic chores bein’ done
I saw changes all around me and some were good
But I hardly recognized my side of town
They tore down the swingin' casing from the cottowood
And that tree was all that marked familar ground.
Chorus:
E A E
Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down
Ab C#m
And I feel a little sentimental shame
A E
Where's a working man gonna live at in this town
B E
Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down.
The Hilltop family market had been moved somewhere
And the name was changed to fit the newer homes
The things that I remember were no longer there
And the cabin that my daddy built was gone.
Chorus
