They Gpowered up the city with hydro-electric juice
Now Emwe got more electricity than we can ever use
They Cflooded out the C/Bhollow and all the Dfolks down there moved Cout
But Gthey got paid so Dthere ain?t nothin Celse to think aGbout
Some Gof them made their living cutting the timber down,
SnakEming it one log at a time up the hill and into town.
T.CV.A. had a C/Bway to Dclear it off real Cfast.
Lots Gof men and machinery Dbuild a dam Cand drown the Grest.
Uncle GFrank lived in a cabin down on Cedar Creek,
Bought Emfifteen acres when he got back home from overseas.
FifCteen rocky C/Bacres, figured Dno one else would Cwant,
Till Gall that backed up Dwater had to have Csome place to Ggo.
CUncle C/BFrank couldn?t Dread or write.
CNever held C/Bdown a job, or Dneeded one in his life.
AmThey assured him there?d be Emwork for him in town building Ccars, it?s already going Gdown
The Gcars never came to town and the roads never got built.
And Emthe price of all that power kept on going straight uphill.
The Cbanks around the C/Bhollow sold for lakeDfront properCty
Where GDoctors, Lawyers, and MusiDcians teach their Ckids to water-Gski.
CUncle C/BFrank couldn?t Dread or write.
CSo there was C/Bno note or letter Dfound where he died.
AmJust a rope around his Emneck and the kitchen table turned on it?s Cside G
