Bluegrass Songs - Willow Creek dam

Willow Creek dam

In the big Pine woods on Willow Creek mountain
Is where I was raised to be a man
And it seems all the good things that spaw in my memory
Are tied to that Willow Creek land

The big dozier rumbles on Willow Creek mountain
The saw steals the life from the trees
The water is rising on Willow Creek mountain
And the dam that they said had to be

    So dam the men who dams up the river
    And dam the men who dam the life I've known
    Dam the world thats so ever changing
    For it robbed me of my Willow Creek home

The black smoke is rolling on Willow Creek mountain
Her beauty will fade with the land
The world won't remember Willow Creek mountain
Or the price paid for progress of man

 * Refrain
