The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music

Darling Alalee

Sweet Alalee so 4 dear to me, She's 2 gone for- 5 ever 1 more
My home was down in 4 Tennessee, Be- 2 fore the 5 cruel 1 war

Chorus
Then 4 carry me back to 1 Tennessee, There's where I long to 5 be
a 1 mong the fields of 4 yellow corn, With my 2 darling 5 Ala 1 lee

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
