They powered up the city
With hydro-electric juice
Now we got more electricity
Than we can ever use
They flooded out the hollow
And all the folks down there moved out
But they got paid so there ain't nothin'
Else to think about
Some of them made their living
Cuttin' the timber down
Snaking it one log at a time
Up the hill and into town
T.V.A. had a way
To clear it off real fast
Lots of men and machinery
Build a dam and drown the rest
Uncle Frank lived in on bottom
Down on Cedar Creek
Bought fifteen acres when he got back home
From overseas
Fifteen rocky acres
Figured no one else would
Want, till all that backed up water
Had to have some place to go
With hydro-electric juice
Now we got more electricity
Than we can ever use
