Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee HillsThere neat the pines midst the rocks and the rillsThere stands my old homestead of long long agoIt brings back sweet memories of the one I loved soI'll tell you the reason why I left her thereTo roam this old world with its sorrow and careI saw her one night in the arms of a man hugging and kissing as two lovers canI went to my home with a heart full of woe packed my belongings determined to goFor many long years this old world I did roamWith thoughts of my sweetheart my darling my own[ fiddle ]While dining one day in a little country townA stranger walked in and he chanced to sit downWhile talking of loved ones I happened to findThat his sister was that old sweetheart of mineWhen he heard my story to me then he saidThe one you left there has a long time been deadShe waited so long for the day you'd returnAnd why you had left her she never did learnNow I was the one who you saw that fatal nightWrapped in the arms of my sister so tightShe loved you so dearly but you broke her heartStranger from her ever more you must part Aus Songtexte Mania
