Tragic Romance (Stonewall Jackson)
C F
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee Hills
G7 C
Among the peaceful pines midst the rocks and the rills
F
There stands my old home place of long long ago
G7 C
It brings back fond memory of one I loved so
F
I courted that maiden so sweet and so fair
G7 C
With heavenly eyes and with chestnut brown hair
F
She said that she loved me and always would be mine
G7 C
But I went away leaving her there behind
F
I'll tell you the reason that I left her there
G7 C
To roam this old world with its sorrow and care
F
I saw her one night in the arms of a man
G7 C
Hugging and kissing as two lovers can
F
While dining one night in a far off country town
G7 C
A stranger walked in and he chanced to sit down
F
While speaking of loved ones I happened to find
G7 C
He was the brother of that old sweetheart of mine
F
When he heard my story to me then he said
G7 C
The one you love has a long time been dead
F
Oh I was the one who you saw that fatal night
G7 C
All wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight
F
She loved you so dearly but you broke her heart
G7 C
To stranger from her ever more you must part
