Little Home In Tennessee Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

Every night I'm dreaming of that little home down among the hills of Tennessee 

And I'm always lonely longin' to return to the place that means the world to me 

Just a little shack roof all turning black still it is a palace there to me 

Songbirds always singing round the cabin door of that little home in Tennessee 

I can see my mother standing by the gate when I drove the old horse up the lane 

She would always scold me when I got home late 

Now I wish I'd never caused her pain 

With her tender smile meaning all worthwhile no one could be half so kind to me 

Now she's gone to heaven and she'll nearly turn to our 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 

But another man won her heart and hand then I knew how much she meant to me 

I was broken hearted so I went away from that little home in Tennessee
