The girl I love’s from sunny Tennessee
The girl I love’s from sunny Tennessee
From sunny Tennessee, don’t pay no never mind to me
The girl I love’s from sunny Tennessee

Refrain:
The girl I love don't pay me no mind
The girl I love don't pay me no mind
Oh sweetheart divine, put your little hand in mine
The girl I love don't pay me no mind

The girl I love she done left this town
The girl I love done left this town
She done left this town, she’s Alabama bound
The girl I love she done left this town

Refrain

The girl I love is comin’ back next fall
She told that she’s comin’ back next fall
Said she’d be back next fall, or maybe not at all
The girl I love is comin’ back next fall

Refrain

The girl I love is sweet as she can be
The girl I love is sweet as she can be
She’s as sweet as she can be
She’s just not sweet on me
The girl I love is sweet as she can be

Refrain
