Lyrics

Oh Dear family it's hard just to write when you get this you'll be waking and I'll be on the train I never could have asked for more in my life Then your love and protection, every day and every night But I'm in love with a Girl From Tennessee She's always on my mind now, I have to go and see Tell my baby sister, I love her so Send me her picture so I can see her grow Tell my brother I am sorry about the things we had planned We'll get together next winter and I'll write when I can I'm in love with a girl from Tennessee I met her last November in the big city And her soul, it's bright as the moon and it shines right through the darkest of gloom and her smile oh it fills me with joy a radiant beam, right through my core Father you gave me the courage to go Mother you taught me to respect and to know Now I'm in love with a girl from Tennessee I know she will love me, it wasn't hard to see And her soul, it's bright as the moon and it shines right through the darkest of gloom and her smile oh it fills me with joy a radiant beam, right through my core And so this is goodbye.
