can anybody please help me with this song?" thanks.

here are the only words I have to the song
   "My Home In Tennessee"
I can still remember many years ago
When I drove the old cow up the lane
......
Just a little shack though .....turning back
But it means a Palace there to me
Song birds always singing around my cabin door
from my little home in Tennessee.

Here's the Carter Family lyrics:

MY LITTLE HOME IN TENNESSEE
Carter Family- Original

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

Every night I'm dreaming of a little home
Down among the hills of Tennessee
And I'm always lonely, longing to return
To the place that means the world to me
Just a little shack, roof all turning black
Still it is a palace fair to me
Songbirds always singing 'round my kitchen door
In my little home in Tennessee

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

I can see my mother standing by the gate
As I drove the old horse up the lane
She would never scold me when I'd get in late
How I wish I'd never caused her pain
With her tender smile beaming all the while
No one could be so kind to me
Now she's gone to heaven and she'll never return
To my little home in Tennessee

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

I can still remember many years ago
When my sweetheart wandered by my side
Down among the mountains where wildflowers grow
There she promised she would be my bride
Then another man won her heart and hand
Then I knew how much she meant to me
I was brokenhearted and I went away
From my little home in Tennessee

-Richie

Hi Newfiegirl Nita
Don't forget if you want to sound like the Carter Family play only I, IV and V chords, leave out the II chord even though you can HEAR where it goes so clearly. . . that's one of the things that made the Carter Family sound like the Carter Family!
and hi Richie!

Was across her chest
My home in tennessee"
