The Creek That Was Chords & Lyrics - Lake Fork Verne

There [D]was a [G]little [D]creek,
That ran thru the old Edwards [A]place
I used [D]to pass i[G]t every w[D]eek
But now it is [A]barely a [D]trace

Navy beans, little [G]democrats, my dad called [D]them
Would soak all day in a pot of that creek [A]water
They [D]were the main [G]course
Of my grandparents [D]supper

That little creek [G]is now grown [D]over
Corporate farmers plowed it [A]shut
They [D]got three more [G]feet for their [D]rovers
Sealed shut, our memories [A]to satisfy their [D]glut

But I can [G]still picture [D]it
Like it was when my dad was a [A]lad
With [D]his [G]little wooden [D]bucket
Drawing water for [A]their supper, how [D]glad

I can still [G]see where it [D]was,
When I drive by the old [A]place
Hidden [D]in the [G]grassy [D]waterway
Ignoring the farm tractors [A]noisy [D]buzz

Yes, they boiled [G]their navy (D beans
Little democrats is what my dad called [A]them
In that [G]clear, clean creek [D]water
The creek [A]that [D]was..

No creek there no more..
