Old man Noll was a mean old soul, he lived across the hill |
|
I didn't know him very well and now I never will |
|
He had some sheep that grazed his land and he was very old |
|
And all the kids would stay away, we knew he was a scold. |
|
Yeah, but our best tree house was on his hill |
|
And our navy sailed on his pond |
|
The years have only brought me pain |
|
Now I'm sad the old man's gone. |
|
'Cause now the freeway rolls where old man Noll |
|
Used to run his sheep in the meadow |
|
And as you drive by if you really try |
|
You still can see his shadow. |
|
Now, old man Noll was a mean old soul, at least the kids thought so |
|
But we were much, much younger then and now I just don't know |
|
The way it was when it was his, the land was clear and free |
|
The land was life and with his wife was all that he could see. |
|
So when the houses came and brought |
|
The kids who thought he was mean |
|
I think that now at last I see |
|
How sad he must have been. |
|
'Cause now the freeway rolls where old man Noll |
|
Used to run his sheep in the meadow |
|
And as you drive by if you really try |
|
You still can see his shadow |
|
Yeah, you still can see his shadow. |
