Goin’ To Bring Her Back

Oh Lord, I'm going cross them yonder mountains,
Walking on them choo-choo tracks.
That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.

Well, I love that girl, fairest in the world,
And I mean to tell her so.
Got me a band, place it on her hand,
If I find out where she did go.

Oh Lord, I'm going cross them yonder mountains,
Walking on them choo-choo tracks.
That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.

Well her mother and father don't like me at all,
Her brother and sister the same.
Well, that don't bother me, I'll marry her, you'll see.
Yes, I'm going to change her name.

Oh Lord, I'm going cross them yonder mountains,
Walking on them choo-choo tracks.
That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.

Well, I went to her house, quiet as a mouse,
So her parents wouldn't know.
Climbed up a tree so she could see me
O'er the hill there I saw her go.

Oh Lord, I'm going cross them yonder mountains,
Walking on them choo-choo tracks.
That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.

Oh Lord, I'm going cross them yonder mountains,
Walking on them choo-choo tracks.
That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.

That sweet gal, you see, has gone to Tennessee,
And I'm going to bring her back.
