I just got a letter from the sunny south, from my girl in Tennessee,
                                                                                      E                      E7
she said she loved me like she used to do, and was waiting there for me.

    When I left my honey at the railroad train I said, honey, wait for me,

    I'm going to make a lot of money up north,
