Biography:
The Dillards are an American bluegrass band from Salem, Missouri, popularly known for their appearance as "The Darlings" on The Andy Griffith Show.
Though The Dillards were already an established bluegrass band, their biggest claim to fame is performing musically as members of the fictional Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show, introducing bluegrass to many Americans who had never heard it.

It's been ten long years since I left my home
D
In the hollow where I was born
G B7 C G
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
D G
And a fox hunter blows his horn
I fell in love with a girl from the town
I thought that she would be true
I ran away to Charlottesville
and worked in a sawmill or two
D G
What have they done to the old home place
A D
why did they tear it down
G B7 C G
And why did I leave the plow in the field
D G
and look for a job in the town
Well the girl ran off with somebody else
the taverns took all my pay
And here I stand where the old home stood
before they took it away
Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans
as I stand here and hang my head
I've lost my love I've lost my home
and now I wish that I was dead
