Oh [4] little girl of mine in [1] Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for [5] me
[1] Someday I'll settle down in that [4] little country [1] town
With that little girl of [5] mine in [1] Tennessee

[1] Oh a long long time ago when I [4] left my home to [1] roam
Down in the hills of [5] Tennessee
Was the [1] sweetest little girl that was [4] ever in this [1] world
Down in the [5] hills of [1] Tennessee

Oh she begged me not to go you'll be sorry dear I know
For the way that you've been treating me
So I rambled all around but nothing could be found
To take the place of her in Tennessee

Oh someday I'll wander back to that little cabin shack
The little girl that's waiting there for me
I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate
Oh that little girl of mine in Tennessee
