Verse 1

G                                               C    G
Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home to roam
D
Down in the hills of Tennessee
G                                              C     G
The sweetest little girl that was ever in this world
D                          G
Down in the hills of Tennessee

Chorus

C                                   G
Oh the little girl of mine in Tennessee
D
I know she's waiting there for me
G                                               C    G
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
D                                      G
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee

Verse 2

G                                                    C    G
Oh, she begged me not to go you'll be sorry, dear, I know
D
For the way that you were treating me
G                                            C     G
So I rambled all around and nothing could be found
D                                 G
To take the place of her in Tennessee

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G                                                 C     G
Oh, someday I'll wander back to that little cabin shack
D
Little girl that's waiting there for me
G                                                C    G
I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate
D                                    G
Oh that little girl of mine in Tennessee
