Nestled in the heart of

the Tennessee hills

There 'neath the pines

midst the rocks and the rills

There stands

my old homestead

of long long ago

It brings back sweet memories

of the one I loved so

I'll tell you the reason

why I left her there

To roam this old world with

it's sorrow and care

I saw her one night

in the arms of a man

Hugging and kissing

as two lovers can

I went to my home

with a heart full of woe

Packed my belongings

determined to go

For many long years

this old world I did roam

With thoughts of

my sweetheart

my darling my own

While dining one day

in a little country town

A stranger walked in

and he chanced to sit down

While talking of loved ones

I happened to find

That his sister was

that old sweetheart of mine

When he heard my story

to me then he said

The one you left

there has a long

time been dead

She waited so long

for the day you'd return

And why you had left her

she never did learn

Now I was the one

that you saw that fatal night

Wrapped in the arms of

my sister so tight

She loved you so dearly

but you broke her heart

Stranger from her

ever more you must part
