(Tom Meltzer) Once I had a sweetheartShe meant the world to meI met her on the road one night when we were in TennesseeI met her in a barroom after we'd done a showWe sat and talked about the Louvins 'til the 'tender called time to goShe wrote her address on a napkinI wrote mine on my CDShe said, "It was sure nice talking to you"I said, "You'll be hearing from me"I wrote her a letter the next dayShe wrote one in returnThe letters we wrote each other could have made the mailbox burnYo-de-lay-he-he-hoo I wrote her a long letter and told her that I loved her soAnd if she'd come to New York to the altar we would goI sent it with a dozen roses and I waited for her replyTil the day the letter came my way that made me want to dieIt said, "I know that you love New YorkSo wild and fancy freeAnd I love you, dear, But I also love my home in TennesseeNow I know that you'd be no more happy here than in the city I would beSo though I love you dear I'm gonna stay right hereHome in Tennessee"Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo And now I know I will never wedBut a bachelor I'll always be'Cause my heart belongs to a pretty girl down in TennesseeYo-de-lay-he-he-hoo
