My Little Girl in Tennessee
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 2 (1968-1974) [Bear Family] [1995]
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waitin' there for me
Someday I'll settle down to that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home to roam
Down in the hills of Tennessee
There's 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 waitin' there for me
Someday I'll settle down to that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, someday I'll wander back to that little cabin shack
Little girl that's waiting there for me
I can see her smiling face waiting for me in the gate
Oh, that little girl of mine in Tennessee.
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waitin' there for me
Someday I'll settle down to that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
I know she's waitin' there for me
Someday I'll settle down to that little country town
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee...
