March Down to Old Tennessee Lyrics by Jean Ritchie

Something to Sing About

0

Here stands a couple, joined hearts and hands
He wants a wife, and she wants a man
Soon they will get married, if they can agree
They'll march down to old Tennessee, and married they will be
Now we must part, oh now we must part
Parting makes me lonely, it nearly breaks my heart
Yonder she comes, and it's "Howdy howdy do
How have you been since i parted with you."
Very well oh very well oh very well I say
Oh could we have met, to pass another day
I hear the bugle sounding and i must bid adieu
So give me one sweet kiss to remind me of you
Here stands a couple, joined hearts and hands
He wants a wife, and she wants a man
Soon they will get married, if they can agree
They'll march down to old Tennessee, and married they will be
