Lyrics My Little Girl In Tennessee - Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs

My Little Girl In Tennessee

Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home alone
Down in the hills of Tennessee
Was the sweetest little girl that was ever in this world
Little girl of mine in 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
She begged me not to go, You’ll be sorry dear, I know
For the way that you’ve been treating me I have rambled all around but there’s no one else I’ve found
Who could take the place of her in 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
Someday I’ll wander back to that little run down shack
And that little girl that’s waiting there for me I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate
Oh, the little girl of mine in 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
