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 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 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? How was I to understand? How to make it right? As I ask our father every night 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?
