Lyrics
Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee When I was four, my loving mam Was cornered by the boss' man She turned her head and got struck down They buried her in the cold, cold ground Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee When I was twelve, my father dear Was strong of arm and free of fear Until the day he raised his hand Then he was sold to Alabam' Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee I was sixteen, found my bloom And found my man, we jumped the broom We pledged each other the rest of our lives And on Saturday nights, we were man and wife Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee I was eighteen, bugles called The boys in blue came o'er the wall I took my chance and followed free They led the way to Tennessee Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee Here I sit in a tiny shack With thirteen others at my back I've sent you word, so all I can do Is wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait And wait for you Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard, I know Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee I'll wait for you I'll wait for you I'll wait for you I'll wait for you
