  TRAGIC ROMANCE

  Recorded by Cowboy Copas

  Writer: Louis Marshall Jones (aka Grandpa Jones)

  

  [G-1] Nestled in the heart of the [C-4] Tennessee hills

  [D7-57] Midst peaceful pines, midst the rocks and the [G-1] rills

  There stands my old homestead of [C-4] long, long ago

  [D7-57] It brings back fond memories of one I loved [G-1] so.

  

  I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair

  With heavenly eyes and with chestnut brown hair

  She told me she loved me and said she'd be mine

  But I went away leavin' her there behind.

  

  I'll tell you the reason why I left her there

  To roam this old world with its' sorrow and cares

  I saw her one night in the arms of a man

  Huggin' and kissin' as true lover's can.

  

  I went to my home with a heart full of woe

  I packed my belongings, determined to go

  For many long years this old world I did roam

  With thoughts of my darlin', my sweetheart, my home.

  

  While dining one day in a little country town

  A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down

  While talking of loved ones, I happened to find

  That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine.

  

  When he heard my story, to me then he said

  "The one that you loved, has a long time been dead."

  "She waited so long for the day you'd return,

  And why you had left her, she never did learn."

   

  Now I am the man, whom you saw that fatal night

  Wrapped in the arms of my sister, so tight

  She loved you so dearly, but you broke her heart

  Poor stranger, from her, ever more you must part.
