Had to move from our home
From our home in Ellenton
From our own family home, had to move
Government claimed dominion
Didn't ask nobody's opinion, we had to move
E'rybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
When the rumors turned to fact
Then the whole town had to pack
All the white folks an' the black had to move
When the government claimed the land
Every woman, child an' man had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
Some big shot politicians
Made them big cigar decisions
Didn't need our permission, had to move
Buildin' bomb factories
Stretchin' 'cross the three counties, had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
All the churches had to move
All the graveyards too
All the stores an' the schools had to move
All the sheds an' the tools
All the cows an' the mules had to moved
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
Myers Mills, Hawthorne, Dunbarton, all gone
While the ol' folks prayed on, had to move
And nothin' we could do
When the government came rollin' through
We had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so
We had to move
From our home in Ellenton
From our own family home, had to move
Government claimed dominion
Didn't ask nobody's opinion, we had to move
E'rybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
When the rumors turned to fact
Then the whole town had to pack
All the white folks an' the black had to move
When the government claimed the land
Every woman, child an' man had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
Some big shot politicians
Made them big cigar decisions
Didn't need our permission, had to move
Buildin' bomb factories
Stretchin' 'cross the three counties, had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
All the churches had to move
All the graveyards too
All the stores an' the schools had to move
All the sheds an' the tools
All the cows an' the mules had to moved
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so, we had to move
Myers Mills, Hawthorne, Dunbarton, all gone
While the ol' folks prayed on, had to move
And nothin' we could do
When the government came rollin' through
We had to move
Everybody had to pack an' go
'Cause the government said so
We had to move
