elvaton - john mccutcheon lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
where the broad susanna flows along to meet the mighty sea
there lived a peaceful village that meant all the world to me
was the home of happy people, i knew each and every one
all my kin and all the friends, i love the town of elvaton

[verse 2]
but the military came one day and filled our hearts with woe
we’ll study war right here, they said the little town must go
then they came with trucks and dynamitе, the din and dust rose high
and i stood and gazed in silеnce there and watched my hometown die

[verse 3]
then they brought bulldozers by the score where children used to play
tore down all the trees we loved and scr*ped the flowers away
now our homes are gone, the schoolhouse, to the sweat and toil of years
and with them all our hopes and dreams of passing future years

[verse 4]
and the little church was hauled away, the fields are brown and bare
and in their place a mighty plant they built the h*bomb there
now the smoke hangs o’er the valley like the mist before my eyes
it’s been there ever since the day i watched my hometown die
all the friends we’ve known and loved we’ll meet upon some other shore
but elvaton, fair elvaton, is gone forevermore
