Ellie Rae 

Ellie Rae, so dear to me
Is gone for ever more.
And our home was down in Tennessee
Before this cruel war.

Carry me back to Tennessee;
That's where I long to be.
Among the fields of yellow, yellow corn,
With my darling Ellie Rae.

Well, why should I from day to day
Keep wishing to be free.
From the master I run away,
For to be with my Ellie Rae.

Carry me back to Tennessee;
That's where I long to be.
Among the fields of yellow, yellow corn,
With my darling Ellie Rae.

Oh Ellie Rae so dear to me,
She's gone for ever more.
And our home was down, down in Tennessee
Before this cruel war.

Carry me back to Tennessee;
That's where I long to be.
Among the fields of yellow, yellow corn,
With my darling Ellie Rae.

With my darling Ellie Rae.
With my darling Ellie Rae...
