My Little Girl in Tennessee
Tennessee Dreams: A Love Story Echoed in Bluegrass Melody
Lyrics
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
Expressing affection for a girl in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Acknowledging the girl's anticipation of the speaker's return
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
Planning to settle down in a small town in Tennessee
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee
Reiterating the connection with the girl in Tennessee
Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home to roam
Recalling a distant time when the speaker left home
Down in the hills of Tennessee
Referring to the hills of Tennessee as the speaker's previous location
Was the sweetest little girl that was ever in this world
Describing a sweet girl encountered in the hills of Tennessee
Down in the hills of Tennessee
Emphasizing the exceptional nature of the girl
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
Repeating affection for the girl in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Reiterating the girl's anticipation of the speaker's return
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
Reaffirming the intention to settle down in Tennessee
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee
Restating the connection with the girl in Tennessee
Oh, she begged me not to go, ?You'll be sorry, dear, I know?
Recalling a plea from the girl not to leave
For the way that you've were treating me
Acknowledging potential regret for mistreating the girl
So I rambled all around and nothing could be found
Describing the speaker's unsuccessful search for a replacement
To take the place of her in Tennessee
Highlighting the irreplaceable nature of the girl in Tennessee
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
Reiterating affection for the girl in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Reiterating the girl's anticipation of the speaker's return
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
Reaffirming the intention to settle down in Tennessee
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee
Restating the connection with the girl in Tennessee
Oh, someday I'll wander back to that little cabin shack
Expressing a future return to a cabin shack in Tennessee
Little girl that's waiting there for me
Emphasizing the girl's patient wait for the speaker
I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate
Visualizing the girl's smiling face at the gate
Oh, the little girl of mine in Tennessee
Reiterating the girl's presence in Tennessee
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
Expressing affection for the girl in Tennessee
I know she's waiting there for me
Acknowledging the girl's anticipation of the speaker's return
Someday I'll settle down in that little country town
Reaffirming the intention to settle down in Tennessee
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee
Restating the connection with the girl in Tennessee
