Delaney Place (A Dollar A Day)
? by: Verne Garrison
February 23, 2006; Valley Park, MO.
The Delaney Place (A Dollar A Day)
DWhen I was a kid, we lived on the Delaney GPlace
AMy dad was the hired- Dman
Everyday was a regular rat- Grace
ABut now I know it was part of a bigger Dplan
[Chorus]
DShucking corn by hand in the GFall
AOne cent a bushel was the Dpay
Milking cows and slopping hogs and Gall
AWorked long and hard for a dollar a dDay
DThe rooms in the old house had high Gceilings
AWall paper kept out the wind and Dthe dust
I remember with mixed Gfeelings,
AFeatherbeds, heavy comforts, to keep warm, Da must
DCome Winter, the sows had their Glitter
AThere was always a runt who was pushed Daway
We?d bring it inside and spoon feed milk its Gdinner
ATill it was warm and strong enough to make its wDay
[Chorus]
DShucking corn by hand in the GFall
AOne cent a bushel was the Dpay
Milking cows and slopping hogs and Gall
AWorked long and hard for a dollar a dDay
DJust as the winters were Gcold
AThe summers were just as Dhot
Many times I have been Gtold
AWe slept out in the yard on a mattress or Dcot
DMr. Delaney was a rich old mGan
ABut he treated us pretty Dnice
Cause my dad was a good hired Gman
AWe had shelter so long as Dad paid the Dprice
[Chorus]
DShucking corn by hand in the GFall
AOne cent a bushel was the Dpay
Milking cows and slopping hogs and Gall
AWorked long and hard for a dollar a dDay
