Generate meaning
1
At the bottom of Green Mountain William Deacon stands and stares into the rain
2
With coal grey eyes yellow teeth and a face that shows the strain
3
Of his fight against the people who would cut Green Mountain down
4
To paid away for what they say is a short cut in the town
5
Their sugar and the gas tanks of the dosers and the graters and mud
6
The grits they finished yesterday was washed away by last night's ragin' flood
7
And the dam went out with dynamite strollin's from the work through shack
8
But the coal grey eyes of William Deacon never once looked back
9
They're gonna move Green Mountain he can't stand in the way
10
But William Deacon swears Green Mountain's gonna stay
11
They're gonna move Green Mountain at least that's what they say
12
But there he stands lookin' twice as big as he did yesterday
13
For hundred years and more the Deacon Clan has planned Green Mountain as dear home
14
But the highway department don't have the sense to leave well enough alone
15
Witn an iron hand he raised ten kids and taught 'em right from wrong
16
And then trouble come the Deacon Clan can be mighty bight and strong
17
They carried William Deacon's body down from old Green Mountain yesterday
18
He was crashed by a rollin' grabble truck when he stepped out into the way
19
The forman round then said well now the work can start again
20
But he forgot the family pride of all the Deacon Clan
21
They're gonna move Green Mountain...
