Generate meaning
1
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee Hills
2
Midst peaceful pines midst the rocks and the rills
3
There stands my old homestead of long long ago
4
It brings back fond mem'ries of the one I loved so
5
I courted that maiden so sweet and so fair
6
With heavenly eyes and with chestnut brown hair
7
She told me she loved me and that she'll be mine
8
But I went away leaving her far behind
9
I'll tell you the reason that I left here there
10
To roam this old world with its sorrow and care
11
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
12
just hugging and kissing as two 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 darling my sweetheart my home
17
[ instrumental solo ]
18
While dining one night in a little country town
19
A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down
20
While talking of loved ones I happened to find
21
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine
22
And when he heard my story to me he then said
23
The one that you loved has a long time been dead
24
She waited so long for the day that you'd return
25
And just why you had left her she never did learn
26
Oh I was the one who you saw that fatal night
27
All wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
28
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
29
Now stranger from her ever more you must part
