Carter Family Songs Lyrics & Chords
Little home in Tennessee
Little home in Tennessee
I am always dreaming of my little
home
Back among the hills of Tennessee
I am always yearning, longing to
return
To the place that means the world to
me
Just a little shack roof all turning
black
Still it's a place there to me
Song birds always singing round the
kitchen door
Of my little home in Tennessee
I can see my mother standing by the
gate
As I drove the old horse up the lane
She would never scold me when I came
home late How I wish that I had never cause her pain
Just a tender smile beaming all the
while
No one could be half so kind to me
Now she's gone to Heaven and she'll
never return
To my little home in Tennessee
I can still remember many years ago
When my sweetheart wandered by my
side
Down among the mountains where wild
flowers grow There she promised she would be my bride
Then another man won her heart and
hand
She always meant the world to me
I was broken hearted and I went away
From my little home in Tennessee
