Little Girl of Mine in Tennessee

Oh, a long, long time ago when I left my home, you know
Down in the hills of Tennessee
There's the sweetest little girl that was ever in this world
Down in the hills of Tennessee

Oh, a little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee

She begged me not to go, "You'll be sorry, don't you know
For the way that you've been treating me"
So I rambled all around and it never could be found
Take the place of her in Tennessee

Oh, a little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee

Someday I'll wander back to that little country shack
That little girl is waiting there for me
I can see her smiling face standing there beside the gate
Down in the hills of Tennessee

Oh, a little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Around there I'll settle down in that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee

Oh, a little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee
