Tragic Romance - The Stanley Brothers[00:00:01]
Written by:Grandpa Jones[00:00:02]
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills[00:00:08]
Midst peaceful pines[00:00:13]
'Neath the rocks and the rills[00:00:15]
There stands my old homestead of long anger ago[00:00:19]
Brings back sweet memories of the one I loved so[00:00:25]
I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair[00:00:31]
With pearly blue eyes[00:00:37]
And with chestnut brown hair[00:00:39]
She promised to love be and said she's be mine[00:00:43]
But I went away leaving her there behind[00:00:49]
I'll tell you reason why I left her there[00:00:55]
To roam this old world with it's sorrow and cares[00:01:01]
I saw her one night in the arms of a man[00:01:07]
Hugging and kissing as true lovers can[00:01:13]
I went to my home with a heart full of woe[00:01:19]
I packed my belongings determined to go[00:01:25]
For many long years this old world I did roam[00:01:31]
With thoughts my darling in the sweetheart my own[00:01:37]
While dining one day in a little country town[00:01:55]
A stranger word in and he chanced to sit down[00:02:00]
While talking of loved ones I happened to find[00:02:07]
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine[00:02:12]
When he heard my story to me then he said[00:02:19]
The one that you loved has a long time been dead[00:02:24]
Now I am the man you saw that fateful night[00:02:31]
Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight[00:02:36]
Killer you so get living you from her heart[00:02:42]
Poor stranger from her ever more you must part[00:02:48]
