The Boy from New York City, the Girl from Tennessee
(Tom Meltzer)
Once I had a sweetheart
She meant the world to me
I met her on the road one night when we were in Tennessee
I met her in a barroom after we'd done a show
We sat and talked about the Louvins 'til the 'tender called time to go
She wrote her address on a napkin
I wrote mine on my CD
She said, ";It was sure nice talking to you";
I said, ";You'll be hearing from me";
I wrote her a letter the next day
She wrote one in return
The letters we wrote each other could have made the mailbox burn
Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo
I wrote her a long letter and told her that I loved her so
And if she'd come to New York to the altar we would go
I sent it with a dozen roses and I waited for her reply
Til the day the letter came my way that made me want to die
It said, ";I know that you love New York
So wild and fancy free
And I love you, dear,
But I also love my home in Tennessee
Now I know that you'd be no more happy here than in the city I would be
So though I love you dear
I'm gonna stay right here
Home in Tennessee";
Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo
And now I know I will never wed
But a bachelor I'll always be
'Cause my heart belongs to a pretty girl down in Tennessee
Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo
