"Old, Old House" lyrics - MARTY STUART

There's an old, old house that once was a mansion
On a hill overlookin' the town
But time's left a wreckage where once there was beauty
And soon the old house will tumble down

[Chorus:]
When the leaves start to fall in autumn
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
There's an old, old man who walks in the garden
And his head is bowed in memory.

Well they say he built the mansion
For the love of his woman
And they planned to be married in the fall
But her love did wither in the last days of summer
And the house stood empty after all.

[Chorus:]
When the leaves start to fall in autumn
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
There's an old, old man who walks in the garden
And his head is bowed in memory
And his head is bowed in memory
