The Day The Saw-Mill Closed Down:Dickey Lee.
#104 on BB Hot 100 on SMASH Records in 1963.
INTRO: (x2)
#1.
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.
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.)
#2.
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.
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.)
BRIDGE:
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.
........
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.)
#3.
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,
honey, it s time to come in.
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.)
#4.
No lon..ger do mill hands live here..the giant saws don t
make a sound.
No long..er does my love live here..not since the saw-mill
closed down.
OUTRO:
She left when the saw-mill closed down.
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.)(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
