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

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’

and found my man, we jumped the broom
we pledged each other the rest of our lives
and on sat-rday nights, we were man and wife

the boys in blue came o’er the wall
i took my chance and followed free
they led the way to 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

the way is long and hard, i know
come love come, the road lies free
i’ll wait for you in tennessee

the way is long and hard, i know
come love come, the road lies free
i’ll wait for you in tennessee
