Вступление
From the album Doc & Merle Watson "Ballads from Deepgap"
[Intro]
G C D D7 G X2
[Verse 1]
G C
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills
D D7 G
Midst peaceful pines, midst the rocks and the rills
G C
There stands my old homestead of long, long ago
D D7 G
And it brings back fond memories of the girl that I loved so
[Verse 2]
G C
I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair
D D7 G
With heavenly eyes and the chestnut brown hair
G C
She told me she loved me and said that she'd be mine
D D7 G
But I went away leaving her there behind
[Instrumental]
G C D D7 G X2
[Verse 3]
G C
I'll tell you the reason that I left her there
D D7 G
To roam this old world with its sorrows and cares
G C
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
D D7 G
Hugging and kissing as true lovers can
[Verse 4]
G C
Then I went to my home with a heart full of woe
D D7 G
I packed by belongings, de-termined to go
G C
For many long years, this old world I did roam
D D7 G
With thoughts of my darling, my sweetheart, my own
[Instrumental]
G C D D7 G X2
[Verse 5]
G C
While dining one day in a little country town
D D7 G
A stranger walked in and he chanced to set down
G C
While talking of loved ones I happened to find
D D7 G
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine
[Verse 6]
G C
When he heard my story to me he then said
D D7 G
The one you left there has a long time been dead
G C
She waited so long for the day that you'd return
D D7 G
But why you had left her she never did learn
[Verse 7]
G C
Now I was the man that you saw that fatal night
D D7 G
Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
G C
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
D D7 G
For stranger, from her ever more you must part
[Instrumental]
