Tennessee lyrics - Diana Jones

See also: Jones Diana Chords

I came down from the mountain
Consumed by a passion
I followed the fire so far from my home

What glittered and shone
Like diamonds and gold
Soon turned to ashes and I woke up alone

I'm down on my knees
Begging you please

Take me back, take me back Tennessee

A promise and a ring
Are dangerous things
In the hands of a love untrue and unkind
My heart it was taken
Lied to forsaken
Now you're the only one left that I believe

I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
Take me back, take me back Tennessee

I never did forget
The day we first met
Your soft gentle hills kindly offered me rest

I'm sorry and I'm tired
Of wandering and lying
But you'll make a honest girl of me yet
