The Girl I Left Behind (with John Prine) - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)[00:00:00]

On a morning bright and clear [00:00:15]

To my old home I drew near[00:00:19]

Just a village down in sunny Tennessee[00:00:23]

I'd been speeding on a train[00:00:30]

That would take me home again[00:00:34]

To that girl I left in sunny Tennessee[00:00:38]

As the train drew up at last[00:00:45]

Old familar scene's had passed[00:00:49]

I kissed my mother at the station door[00:00:53]

Then kind friends that gathered round[00:01:00]

Smile on every face I found[00:01:03]

Where I missed the one that I was waiting for[00:01:07]

You can hear the children singing[00:01:15]

As she said farewell to me[00:01:18]

Far across the fields of cotton[00:01:22]

My old homestead I could see[00:01:26]

As the moon rose in it's glory[00:01:31]

Then I told life's sadest story[00:01:35]

To the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee[00:01:39]

I just whispered mother dear[00:02:01]

Where is Mary she's not here[00:02:05]

The world seemed dark[00:02:09]

And sadness came to me[00:02:10]

She just pointed to the spot[00:02:16]

In that little church yard lot[00:02:19]

Where my sleeps in sunny Tennessee[00:02:23]

You can hear children singing[00:02:30]

As she said farewell to me[00:02:34]

Far across the fields of cotton[00:02:38]

My old homestead I could see[00:02:41]

As the moon rose in it's glory[00:02:46]

Then I told life's sadest story[00:02:50]

Of the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee[00:02:54]
