Intro
B E F# F#7 B X2
[Verse 1]
B E
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills
F# F#7 B
Midst peaceful pines, midst the rocks and the rills
B E
There stands my old homestead of long, long ago
F# F#7 B
And it brings back fond memories of the girl that I loved so
[Verse 2]
B E
I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair
F# F#7 B
With heavenly eyes and the chestnut brown hair
B E
She told me she loved me and said that she'd be mine
F# F#7 B
But I went away leaving her there behind
[Instrumental]
B E F# F#7 B X2
[Verse 3]
B E
I'll tell you the reason that I left her there
F# F#7 B
To roam this old world with its sorrows and cares
B E
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
F# F#7 B
Hugging and kissing as true lovers can
[Verse 4]
B E
Then I went to my home with a heart full of woe
F# F#7 B
I packed by belongings, de-termined to go
B E
For many long years, this old world I did roam
F# F#7 B
With thoughts of my darling, my sweetheart, my own
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
B E
While dining one day in a little country town
F# F#7 B
C# stranger walked in and he chanced to set down
B E
While talking of loved ones I happened to find
F# F#7 B
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine
[Verse 6]
B E
When he heard my story to me he then said
F# F#7 B
The one you left there has a long time been dead
B E
She waited so long for the day that you'd return
F# F#7 B
But why you had left her she never did learn
[Verse 7]
B E
Now I was the man that you saw that fatal night
F# F#7 B
Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
B E
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
F# F#7 B
For stranger, from her ever more you must part
[Instrumental]
