Tragic Romance - Grandpa Jones[00:00:01]
Written by:G. Jones[00:00:04]
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[00:00:17]
It brings back fond mem'ries of the one I loved so[00:00:22]
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 that she'll be mine[00:00:38]
But I went away leaving her far behind[00:00:43]
I'll tell you the reason that I left here there[00:00:48]
To roam this old world with it's sorrow and care[00:00:53]
I saw her one night in the arms of a man[00:00:58]
Hugging and kissing as two lovers can[00:01:03]
I went to my home with a heart full of woe[00:01:09]
I packed my belongings determined to go[00:01:14]
For many long years this old world I did roam[00:01:19]
With thoughts of my sweetheart my darling my home[00:01:24]
While dining one night in a little country town[00:01:30]
A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down[00:01:35]
While talking of loved ones I happened to find[00:01:40]
That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine[00:01:45]
And when he heard my story to me he then said[00:02:12]
The one that you loved has a long time been dead[00:02:16]
She waited so long for the day that you'd return[00:02:21]
And just why you had left her she never did learn[00:02:25]
Oh I was the one who you saw that fatal night[00:02:31]
All wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight[00:02:36]
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart[00:02:41]
Now stranger from her ever more you must part[00:02:46]
