Every night Im dreaming of that little home down among the hills of Tennessee And Im always lonely longin to return to the place that means the world to me Just a little shack roof all turning black still it is a palace there to me Songbirds always singing round the cabin door of that little home in Tennessee I can see my mother standing by the gate when I drove the old horse up the lane She would always scold me when I got home late Now I wish Id never caused her pain With her tender smile meaning all worthwhile no one could be half so kind to me Now shes gone to heaven and shell nearly turn to our little home in Tennessee I can still remember many years ago when my sweetheart wandered by my side Down among the mountains where wild flowers grow There she promised she would be my bride But another man won her heart and hand then I knew how much she meant to me I was broken hearted so I went away from that little home in Tennessee
