[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:00.37]I guess it's no secret eh that I did a few years in san quentin [00:04.92]And on my release I noticed that a lot of different things had come to pass [00:08.49]While I was out of circulation [00:10.86]Like the girls dresses were shorter and the freeways were wider [00:15.41]And the ole steam engines were gone forever [00:18.26]But the one thing I noticed most of all down through the san joachin valley [00:22.92]Was the disapperance of so many labor camps [00:25.95]Where once I'd lived from time to time myself [00:30.30]I noticed that that one there at houston california was gone [00:34.23]And the ole crown's camp that lie between formosa and bakersfield [00:38.08]Was just a barren spot with a few cottonwood trees [00:41.02]And surrounded by an olive orchard [00:44.28]Tho a few still remain like the ole blackburn's camp out on weepatch highway [00:49.09]It was an evident fact that someone was tryin' to do away with them all [00:53.92]And I couldn't help but wonder what's gonna happen to the farm workers [00:58.28]And the fruit pickers who move from town to town [01:01.39]The man with the big family who can't afford the ole high standard of livin' [01:06.62]And was these thoughts and my mem'ries that inspired me to write this song [01:20.28]I came back to this ole town cause my home was here [01:25.54]And to try to find some things I'd left behind [01:30.44]Tho' I've only been away for just a few short years [01:35.13]But I'd forgot about the pace of modern times [01:39.66]I saw changes all around me and some were good [01:44.72]But I hardly recognized my side of town [01:49.21]They tore down the swingin' casing from the cottowood [01:54.22]And that tree was all that marked familar ground [01:58.83]Oh they're tearin' the labor camps down [02:03.84]And I feel a little sentimental shame [02:08.63]Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town [02:13.27]Oh they're tearin' the labor camps down [02:25.55]The hilltop family market had been moved somewhere [02:30.20]And the name was changed to fit the newer homes [02:35.02]The folks that I remember were no longer there [02:49.34]And the cabin that my daddy built was gone [02:58.55]Oh they're tearin' the labor camps down [03:08.23]They're tearin' the labor camps down
