• The Girl I Left In Sunny Tennessee

Complete lyrics:
On one morning bright and clear
My old homestead I drew near,
It's a village down in sunny Tennessee.
I was speeding on a train
That would carry me back again
To that girl I left in sunny Tennessee.

Chorus:
You could hear those darkies singing
As she bid farewell to me.
Far across those fields of cotton,
My old homestead I could see.
As the moon rose in its glory,
There I told the saddest story
To the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee.

It has been but quite a few years
Since I kissed away her tears,
As I left her at my dear old mother's side.
And each day we've been apart,
She's grown closer to my heart
As the night I asked of her to be my bride.

As the train run in at last
Those familiar scenes I passed,
When I kissed my mother at the station door.
When the crowd gathered round,
Tears on every face I found,
But I missed the one that I was looking for.

As I whispered, "Mother, dear,
Where is Mary? She's not here, "
All the world seemed lonely, sadness came to me.
She just pointed to a spot In the little churchyard lot
Where my sweetheart sleeps in sunny Tennessee.

It was spring, I remember well,
When young Tommy slipped and fell
Down into the icy Cherokee
Mary jumped in and saved the lad,
But her heart gave all it had,
And now she sleeps in sunny Tennessee.
