[00:01.03]The ladies of the garden club say
[00:03.40]His home is just a disgrace to the town
[00:08.34]If the mayor wants re elected
[00:11.29]He'd better pass some laws and tear it down
[00:16.33]They wanna cover it with flowers
[00:19.18]Maybe even plant some dogwood trees
[00:24.18]I guess that they've forgotten
[00:26.88]When we were kids what that place used to be
[00:32.20]I know it's just a shanty now
[00:34.87]But lord that place was built with human tears
[00:40.20]For it's the home of Uncle Lem
[00:42.89]Who was born and raised and lived there ninety years
[00:47.99]There's not a boy in this whole town
[00:51.08]Hasn't stopped for water at his well
[00:55.91]Or sat on his porch in the evening
[00:58.65]And listened to the stories that he'd tell
[01:03.93]Oh his hair was the color of a cotton field
[01:06.78]And his skin was old and brown
[01:10.65]And he was born in that rundown shack
[01:13.35]Before there was a town
[01:17.11]He bought that shack and a piece of earth
[01:20.02]For the highest price to pay
[01:23.69]His mom was bought and sold there
[01:26.26]Uncle Lem was born a slave
[01:31.04]The mayor and some ladies of the garden club
[01:34.13]Went out to tell uncle Lem
[01:37.56]That he'd have to find a new place to live
[01:42.37]Well they found him there in that old broken down rocking chair
[01:47.43]And on an old paper bag they found his will
[01:54.40]Nor I wanna leave my old shotgun to the fine mayor of this town
[01:59.43]For I remember when he a little fella he used to follow me around
[02:05.47]I wish I had more to give to my friends that I love
[02:10.05]But all I've got is this old shack and a piece of earth
[02:14.45]And I want it to go to the ladies of the garden club
[02:18.40]Oh his hair was the color of a cotton field
[02:20.97]And his skin was old and brown
[02:24.94]And he was born in that rundown shack
[02:27.86]Before there was a town
[02:31.85]He bought that shack and a piece of earth
[02:34.49]For the highest price to pay
[02:38.27]His mom was bought and sold there
[02:41.24]Uncle Lem was born a slave
