[D#] [G#]
[C#] On one morning by the sea, my old [F#] home keepin' dark and green,
She [G#] took me down to sunny [C#] Tennessee,
And was spittin' on a train [F#] that could carry me back and forth,
[G#] And back and forth all up to sunny [C#] Tennessee.
Sweet old darlin' singing,
[F#] There she is, [C#] my welcome,
Far across the [Fm] field of cotton,
[G#] My old home, said I could see,
But [C#] as the moon rose in the glory,
[F#] There I told a [C#] saddest story,
[G#] To that poor old girl from sunny [C#] Tennessee.
[F#] [G#]
[C#] It's been quite a few years [F#] since I kissed her with ease,
[G#] And I left her at my dear old [C#] mother's side,
At least there we've been apart, [F#] she's so dear to my heart,
[G#] And tonight I ask of her to [C#] be my bride.
Sweet old darlin' singing,
[F#] There she is, my [C#] welcome,
Far across the [D] field of cotton,
[G#] My old home, said I could see,
But [C#] as the moon rose in the glory,
There [F#] I told a [C#] saddest story,
[G#] To that poor old girl from sunny [C#] Tennessee.
[F#]
[C#] As the train running by,
Totin' [F#] beer seemed to pass,
When [G#] I kissed my father at the state [C#] hondo,
When the crowd giggled around,
She's so [F#] near and face so [C#] fond,
She'd not [G#] be the one who I'd been waiting [C#] for.
Sweet old darlin' singing,
[F#] There she is, my welcome,
Far across the field of [A#] cotton,
[G#] My old home, said I could see,
[C#] But as the moon rose in the glory,
[F#] There I told [C#] a saddest story,
[G#] To that poor old girl from sunny [C#] Tennessee.
[F#] [G#]
[C#] As I whispered to my mother,
She [F#] would be there, she's not here,
[G#] For the world seemed lonely,
But then it came to [C#] me,
As she pointed to a spot,
She [F#] smiled and oh, she [D#] smiled a lot,
While [G#] my sweetheart dreamed in sunny [C#] Tennessee.
Sweet old darlin' singing,
There [F#] she is, my welcome,
[C#] Far across the field of [Fm] cotton,
My old home, said I could see,
[C#] But as the moon rose in the glory,
[F#] There I told [C#] a saddest story,
[G#] To that poor old girl from sunny [C#] Tennessee.
