Flatt And Scruggs - Little Girl In Tennessee Lyrics

Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home to roam

Down in the hills of Tennessee

Was the sweetest little girl that was ever in this world

Down in the hills of Tennessee



Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee

I know she's waiting there for me

Someday I'll settle down in that little country town

With that little girl of mine in Tennessee



Oh, she begged me not to go “You'll be sorry dear I knowÂ?

For the way that you've been treating me

So I rambled all around but nothing could be found

To take the place of her in Tennessee



Oh, someday I'll wander back to that little mountain shack

The little girl that's waiting there for me

I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate

The little girl of mine in Tennessee
