Lyrics
was a girl in tennessee
And her labor i ll grow old, he had a beautiful daughter Doc, and i left my girl behind
he handed me a letter
he handed me a letter
i traveled out one morning
Who lived there very near by, bad company i ll resign
If i crossed over the plain, i ll say i ll roam no more, he handed me a letter
and she fell in love with me
it makes no difference
with them i couldn t agree
i drove on down a little further
And found that it was true, and her labor i ll grow old Walker, they had no child but me
her pockets all lined with greenback
I ll drive all about from town to town, just to leave my aged parents
So s i could understand, we too shook hands and parted
My parents raised me tenderly, i met the carrier there, i drove on down a little further
he had a beautiful daughter
I started out in this wide world, strange faces for to see
He handed me a letter, i met the carrier there
So pretty and so fair, and her labor i ll grow old Watson, and she fell in love with me
i turned my horse and buggy around
i ll drive all about from town to town
with her i could compare
With her i could compare, so s i could understand
For the girl i left behind, i ll drive all about from town to town
And them no more to see, i turned all around and about there
So pretty and so fair, they had no child but me Maggie, and found that it was true
I ll say i ll roam no more, i traveled out one morning, so s i could understand
I traveled out one morning, and the girls all kind to me
Down on the market square, i ll drive all about from town to town, i traveled out one morning
and her labor i ll grow old
and she fell in love with me
They had no child but me, her pockets all lined with greenback
there never was a girl in this whole wide world
Strange faces for to see, but the only object to my heart Walker, i met little maggie walker
And she fell in love with me, who lived there very near by
If i crossed over the plain, i met little maggie walker Walker, i ll drive all about from town to town
That the girl i left in tennessee, she was so tall and slender
Bad company i ll resign, i drove on down a little further
she was so tall and slender
for the girl i left behind
Had married another man, we too shook hands and parted
And them no more to see, she was so tall and slender
that the girl i left in tennessee
they had no child but me
They had no child but me, i turned all around and about there Doc, i turned my horse and buggy around
i traveled out one morning
I turned all around and about there, who lived there very near by Blues, i ll drive all about from town to town
I started out in this wide world, but the only object to my heart, so s i could understand
My parents raised me tenderly, she was so tall and slender
i met little maggie walker
And the girls all kind to me, if i crossed over the plain
