Versuri The Day They Closed The Factory Down
She said, I watch him walk down Main Street A
sweet one man parade.
He'd tip his hat and just like that another score
he'd made
I'd watch the girls all watch him; moths drawn to
the flame.
The money showed, the laughter flowed from the
way he played the game.
He played the game.
Some said he was a rambler, some said he was a
rake .
Some said he was a gambler, some said he was a
fake.
But I knew him like no one else, a gentleman was
he.
His days belonged to himself, his nights belonged
to me.
Belonged to me.
And they're talkin' in the town square,
In the taverns and the shops
I hear them talkin' everywhere.
Their talkin' never stops.
But all their words of wisdom won't make you go
away.
The day they closed the factory down they had
nothing,
Nothing left to say.
She said, I take care of my momma now, since my
father died.
I'm raising baby brother, too, the way my father
tried.
His thirty years in the factory ended in that
furnace blast.
But they settled up for ten bucks a week and the
bitterness is past,
It did not last.
So they're moving somewhere else now
With their cloths and fabric press. They found
themselves another town where they'll make shirts
for less.
And that is why he said last night he won't watch
the old town die.
But I would not take what he tried to leave, when
he told me 'Good bye'
Ah, it's good bye
And they're talkin' in the town square,
In the taverns and the shops.
I hear them talkin' everywhere.
Their talkin' never stops.
But all their words of wisdom won't make you go
away.
The day they closed the factory down they had
nothing,
Nothing left to say
So they're talkin' of the changes the closing
brings about.
Talkin' of the hard times and the young folks
moving out.
Yes, they're talking as if talking can make
everything all right.
But all the talking ever done won't bring him
back tonight.
Ah, tonight.
And they're talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin'
Talkin' in the shops
I hear them talkin' everywhere.
Their talkin' never stops.
But all their words of wisdom won't make you go
away.
The day they closed the factory down they had
nothing
Nothing left to say.
