I'm on my way to the south,
                                   D7
where my love waits for me.

I'm going back there again,
                          G
to my girl in Tennessee.

I have been travellin' around,
    G7         C
for about a year,
                         G
but I have never seen,
              D7           G
a girl like my Mary dear.


I'm on my way to the south,
to se my Mary again.
I still remember her mouth,
and the tears on her chin.
The day when I said goodbye,
and she began to cry,
and asked me when,
I would be back home again.

Now I am back in the south,
                                       D#7
where, my love waits for me.

Soon I'll be home there again,
                              G#
with my girl in Tennessee.

I know she's waiting for me,
         G#7           C#
'cause far away I see,
                          G#
the yellow ribbon tied,
              D#7              G#
around the old chesnut tree.
