[G]
I didn't want no broken gate by the road [C] that I met, but of [D]
[G] yesterday.
But when we saw him, we all ran out [A] just to see what he [D] had to say.
[Gm] And when we read it, our [E] eyes fell tears and tears in [G] one place.
Some eyes were worries, some eyes were closure, some eyes fell in pain.
Found the post by the general store, [C] laid [G] buddies.
Had auction sale day after tomorrow, [A] we came to [D] thinkin' life.
[G] Thirty years of farming, thirty years of hard work, [C] thirty years of need.
[G]
Oh, my head stopped cold.
The day the farm was auctioned, there was a double legacy.
Let's hear it for Barry Bradbury one more time.
[C] [Em]
[G] Merle Johnson on the fifth, let's hear it for [A] Merle.
[Gm] [D]
[G] She ain't that better on the metal end.
John Bercasse on the big dog house bass.
[D] [G]
Now the mama's tears fell freely down [C] as she walked along the flowers [G] in her yard.
And every number, the auctioneer called [A] like a bug to the [D] precious hog.
[G] And every number, the auctioneer called and [C] another thing was [G] sold that day.
But there was, well everything was auctioned and loaded all everywhere.
And [C] on [G] the post by the general store, laid [C] buddies.
[G] Had auction sale day after tomorrow, [A] we came to [D]
thinkin' life.
[G] Thirty years of farming, thirty years of hard work, [C] thirty years of [G] need.
Oh, my head stopped cold.
The day the farm was auctioned, there was a double legacy.
At today's first dawn, oh this morning [C] there was nothing for us [G] to do.
No hay in the meadow, no feed in the grain, [A] no cattle, no tractors, [D] no tools.
[G] We loaded up the cart and slowed [C] off the auction [G]
sale.
Mama read it from the loot.
We took one last look and [D] then we drove [G] on.
[Cm] And on [G] the post by the general store, they [C] put up a little [G] sign.
Had [C] auction [G] sale day after tomorrow, [A] we came to [G] thinkin' life.
Thirty years of farming, thirty years of hard [C] work, thirty years of [G] need.
Oh, my head stopped cold.
The day the farm was auctioned, there was a [D] double [G] legacy.
Thank you folks.
[Eb] [G]
