Generate meaning
1
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee Hills
2
Among the peaceful pines midst the rocks and the rills
3
There stands my old homeplace of long long ago
4
It brings back fond mem'ry of 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 said that she loved me and always would be mine
8
But I went away leavin' her there 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 hugging and kissing as two lovers can
12
While dining one night in a far off country town
13
A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down
14
While speaking of loved ones I happened to find
15
He was the brother of that old sweetheart of mine
16
When he heard my story to me then he said
17
The one you love has a long time been dead
18
Oh I was the one who you saw that fatal night
19
All wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
20
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
21
But stranger from her ever more you must part
