[00:00:00] The Day They Closed The Factory Down (Live) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:03] Written by：Harry F. Chapin

[00:00:34] She said I watch him walk down main street

[00:00:37] A sweet one man parade

[00:00:39] He'd tip his hat and just like that

[00:00:41] Another score he'd made

[00:00:44] I'd watch the girls all watch him

[00:00:46] Moths drawn to the flame

[00:00:48] The money showed the laughter flowed

[00:00:51] From the way he played the game

[00:00:55] He played the game

[00:01:06] Some said he was a rambler

[00:01:09] Some said he was a rake

[00:01:11] Some said he was a gambler

[00:01:13] Some said he was a fake

[00:01:15] But I knew him like no one else

[00:01:18] A gentleman was he

[00:01:20] His days belonged to himself

[00:01:22] His nights belonged to me

[00:01:27] Belonged to me

[00:01:32] And they're talkin' in the town square

[00:01:35] In the taverns and the shops

[00:01:37] I hear them talkin' everywhere

[00:01:39] Their talkin' never stops

[00:01:42] But all their words of wisdom

[00:01:44] Won't make you go away

[00:01:47] The day they closed the factory down

[00:01:49] They had nothing

[00:01:52] Nothing left to say

[00:02:04] She said I take care of my momma now

[00:02:06] Since my father died

[00:02:10] I'm raising baby brother too

[00:02:12] The way my father tried

[00:02:16] His thirty years in the factory

[00:02:18] Ended in that furnace blast

[00:02:21] But they settled up for ten bucks a week

[00:02:24] And the bitterness is past

[00:02:28] It did not last

[00:02:44] Talkin' talkin' talkin'

[00:02:52] So they're moving somewhere else now

[00:02:55] With their cloths and fabric press

[00:03:00] They found themselves another town

[00:03:02] Where they'll make shirts for less

[00:03:07] And that is why he said last night

[00:03:09] He won't watch the old town die

[00:03:14] But I would not take what he tried to leave

[00:03:16] When he told me' good bye'

[00:03:21] Oh it's good bye

[00:03:26] And they're talkin' in the town square

[00:03:29] In the taverns and the shops

[00:03:31] I hear them talkin' everywhere

[00:03:33] Their talkin' never stops

[00:03:36] But all their words of wisdom

[00:03:38] Won't make you go away

[00:03:41] The day they closed the factory down

[00:03:43] They had nothing

[00:03:46] Nothing left to say

[00:03:57] So they're talkin' of the changes

[00:04:00] The closing brings about

[00:04:05] Talkin' of the hard times

[00:04:07] And the young folks moving out

[00:04:12] Yes they're talking as if talking

[00:04:14] Can make everything all right

[00:04:19] But all the talking ever done

[00:04:21] Won't bring him back tonight

[00:04:26] Oh tonight

[00:04:31] And they're talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin'

[00:04:34] Talkin' in the shops

[00:04:36] I hear them talkin' everywhere

[00:04:38] Their talkin' never stops

[00:04:41] But all their words of wisdom

[00:04:44] Won't make you go away

[00:04:48] The day they closed the factory down

[00:04:50] They had nothing

[00:04:54] Nothing left to say
