Darling Alalee
Sweet Alalee so dear to me, She's gone forever more
My home was down in Tennessee, Before the cruel war
Chorus
Then carry me back to Tennessee, There's where I long to be
Among the fields of yellow corn, With my darling Alalee
Oh why did I from day to day, Keep wishing to be free
And from my master run away, And leave my Alalee
They said that I would soon be free, And happy all the day
But if they take me back again, I'll never run away
