and when we saw it we all ran out [B] just to see what it [E] had to say
[A] and when we read it our eyes filled with tears and they fell to the cold hard clay
something about a mortgage something about foreclosure [E] something about failing [A] to pay
oh and on the post by the general store they [D] put up a [A] little sign
an auction sale day after tomorrow at [B] the end [E] of the Lincoln line
[A] 30 years of farm 30 years of heartache [F#m] 30 years of [A] day to day
oh my daddy stopped talking the day the farm was auctioned there was [E] nothing [A] left to see
oh my mama's tears fell freely [D] down as she walked amongst the flowers [A] in the yard
and every number the auctioneer called [B] is like a blow to her [E] precious home
[A] and every number the auctioneer called man [D] another thing was sold [A] that day
