Tragic Romance - Grandpa Jones[00:00:00]
Written by:Louis M. Jones/Fred Foster[00:00:01]
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee Hills[00:00:07]
Mist peaceful pines midst the rocks and the rills[00:00:12]
There stands my old homestead of long long ago[00:00:16]
It brings back fond mem'ries of one I loved so[00:00:21]
I courted that maiden so sweet and so fair[00:00:27]
With heavenly eyes and with chestnut brown hair[00:00:32]
She told me she loved me and said she'll be mine[00:00:36]
But I went away leaving her far behind[00:00:41]
I'll tell you the reason why I left her there[00:00:48]
To roam this old world with it's sorrow and care[00:00:52]
I saw her one night in the arms of a man[00:00:57]
Hugging and kissing as two lovers can[00:01:02]
I went to my home with a heart full of woe[00:01:08]
I packed my belongings determined to go[00:01:13]
For many long years this old world I did roam[00:01:17]
With thoughts of my sweetheart my darling my home[00:01:22]
While dining one day in a little country town[00:01:40]
A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down[00:01:44]
While talking of loved ones I happened to find[00:01:49]
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine[00:01:54]
When he heard my story to me he then said[00:02:00]
The one that you loved has a long time been dead[00:02:05]
She waited so long for the day that you'd return[00:02:09]
But why you had left her she never did learn[00:02:14]
Now I am the man whom you saw that fatal night[00:02:21]
All wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight[00:02:25]
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart[00:02:30]
Poor stranger from her ever more you must part[00:02:35]
