The Girl I Left In Sunny Tennessee - Norman Blake
Written by：Traditional
On one morning
Bright and clear
To my old homestead
I drew near
Just a village down
In sunny tennessee
I was speeding
On a train
That would take
Me home again
To that girl I loved
In sunny tennessee
You could hear
Children singing
As she bid farewell to me
Far across
The fields of cotton
My old homestead
I could see
As the moon rose
In the glory
That I told
My saddest story
To that girl
I loved in sunny
Tennessee
As the train run in at last
Those familiar scenes I passed
When I kissed my mother
At the station door
You can friends
Gathered round
Smiles on every
Face I found
But I missed the one
That I'd been searching for
I just whispered mother dear
Where is Mary she's not here
The world would dark an
Sadness came to me
She just pointed to a spot
In the little churchyard lot
Where a mary
Sleeps in sunny
Tennessee
You could hear
Children singing
As she bid farewell me
Far across
The fields of cotton
My old homestead
I could see
As the moon rose
In the glory
That I told
The saddest story
To that girl
I loved in sunny
Tennessee
