On a morning bright and clear

To my old home I drew near

Just a village down in sunny Tennessee

I'd been speeding on a train

That would take me home again

To that girl I left in sunny Tennessee

As the train drew up at last

Old familar scene's had passed

I kissed my mother at the station door

Then kind friends that gathered round

Smile on every face I found

Where I missed the one that I was waiting for

You can hear the children singing

As she said farewell to me

Far across the fields of cotton

My old homestead I could see

As the moon rose in it's glory

Then I told life's sadest story

To the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee

I just whispered mother dear

Where is Mary she's not here

The world seemed dark

And sadness came to me

She just pointed to the spot

In that little church yard lot

Where my sleeps in sunny Tennessee

You can hear children singing

As she said farewell to me

Far across the fields of cotton

My old homestead I could see

As the moon rose in it's glory

Then I told life's sadest story

Of the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee
