The Girl I Left In Sunny Tennessee - Norman Blake

Written by：Traditional

On one morning

Bright and clear

To my old homestead

I drew near

Just a village down

In sunny tennessee

I was speeding

On a train

That would take

Me home again

To that girl I loved

In sunny tennessee

You could hear

Children singing

As she bid farewell to me

Far across

The fields of cotton

My old homestead

I could see

As the moon rose

In the glory

That I told

My saddest story

To that girl

I loved in sunny

Tennessee

As the train run in at last

Those familiar scenes I passed

When I kissed my mother

At the station door

You can friends

Gathered round

Smiles on every

Face I found

But I missed the one

That I'd been searching for

I just whispered mother dear

Where is Mary she's not here

The world would dark an

Sadness came to me

She just pointed to a spot

In the little churchyard lot

Where a mary

Sleeps in sunny

Tennessee

You could hear

Children singing

As she bid farewell me

Far across

The fields of cotton

My old homestead

I could see

As the moon rose

In the glory

That I told

The saddest story

To that girl

I loved in sunny

Tennessee
