Lyrics : Ella Ree

Oh Ella Ree, so kinda and true
In the little church on high
Her grave is bright with drops of dew
But brighter were her eyes

Then carry me back to Tennessee
There let me live and die
Among the fields of yellow corn
In the land where Ella lies

Her dark brown eyes and gentle face
I think I yet can see
I love the place where she was born
Way down in Tennessee

Then carry me back to Tennessee
There let me live and die
Among the fields of yellow corn
In the land where Ella lies

The summer moon will rise and set
The night birds trill their way
Where the sweet magnolia's fragrant air
Blows over her lowly grave

Then carry me back to Tennessee
There let me live and die
Among the fields of yellow corn
In the land where Ella lies
