Generate meaning
1
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills
2
Midst peaceful pines í‚'neath the rocks and the rills
3
There stands my old homestead of long years ago
4
Brings back sweet memories of the one I loved so
5
I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair
6
With pearly blue eyes and with chestnut brown hair
7
She promised to love and said she's be mine
8
But I went away leaving her there behind
9
I'll tell you the reason why I left her there
10
To roam this old world with it's sorrow and cares
11
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
12
Hugging and kissing as true lovers can
13
I went to my home with a heart full of woe
14
Packed my belongings determined to go
15
For many long years this old world I did roam
16
With thoughts of my sweetheart my darling my own
17
While dining one day in a little country town
18
A stranger came in and he chanced to sit down
19
While talking of loved ones I happened to find
20
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine
21
Now I am the man who you saw that fateful night
22
Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
23
She waited so long for the day you'd return
24
And why you had left her she never did learn
25
When he heard my story to me then he said
26
The one that you loved has a long time been dead
27
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
28
Poor stranger, from her ever more you must part
