First they started their surveying and making up their plans
   C                                    F          C

And they handed me a shovel and sixty cents a day

And I relocated mama to fourteen miles away
 
    C                           F                C
Now I look out on the water that rose upon that day
        C                             F              C
By the banks of the old Wattoga where I once used to play
