Merle Haggard They're Tearing the Labor Camps Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came back to this old town 'cause my home was here
And to try to find some things I'd left behind
Although I've only been away for just a few short years
But I'd forgot about the pace of modern times

[Verse 2]
I saw changes all around me and some were good
But I hardly recognized my side of town
They tore down the swinging casing from the cottonwood
And that tree was all that marked familiar ground

[Chorus]
Oh, they're tearing the labor camps down
And I feel a little sentimental shame
Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town?
Oh, they're tearing the labor camps down

[Verse 3]
The hilltop family market had been moved somewhere
And the name was changed to fit the newer homes
The folks that I remember were no longer there
And the cabin that my Daddy built was gone

[Chorus]
Oh, they're tearing the labor camps down
And I feel a little sentimental shame
Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town?
Oh, they're tearing the labor camps down


[Chorus]
You're tearing the labor camps down
And I feel a little sentimental shame
Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town?
Oh, they're tearing the labor camps down
