Tragic Romance - Buck Ryan/Smitty Irvin

Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee Hills

Mist peaceful pines midst the rocks and the rills

There stands my old homestead of long long ago

It brings back fond mem'ries of the one I loved so

I'll tell you the reason why I left here 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 home

While dining one night in a little country town

A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down

While talking of loved ones I happened to find

This there sister was that old sweetheart of mine

While talking of loved ones I happened to find

This years sister was that old sweetheart of mine

When he heard my story to me then he said

The one you loved that has a long time been dead

She waited so long for the day that you'd return

And why you had left her she never had learn

Well I am a man who meet saw that fatal night

Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight

She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart

And stranger from her ever more you must part
