(Verse)
|
Nicholas invited me to visit at the farm
|
We were playing in the yard,
|
I saw them in the barn
|
White and black together sat
|
I just stood and stared
|
How was I to know what it all meant?
|
|
(Verse)
|
Mr. Goldreich and his wife were generous to me
|
David in blue overalls came in to serve the tea
|
I had seen him in the barn, something wasn’t right
|
As I told my father late that night
|
|
(Chorus)
|
So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away
|
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away
|
On that Thursday according to plan
|
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van
|
I stood and watched by the side of the road
|
How could I know?
|
How could I know?
|
|
(Bridge)
|
How was I to understand?
|
How to make it right?
|
As I ask our father every night
|
|
(Chorus)
|
So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away
|
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away
|
On that Thursday according to plan
|
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van
|
I stood and watched by the side of the road
|
How could I know?
|
How could I know?
|
