An Old Fashioned Girl

I was born in a cabin in the hills of Tennessee,
I left that cabin to see the world and what it could make of me
But all I learned from leaving those hills of Tennessee,
Was all a man wanted was a little bit of me.

I'm an old-fashioned girl,
in a new-fashion world.
My heart can't take all this misery.
I'm an old-fashioned girl,
In a high social world,
I wish I were back home in Tennessee.

I went to the Big Apple from my home in Tennessee,
Lured by the lights and bustle that I had seen onTV.
But all I learned from leaving y'all will soon see
was all a man wanted was a little bit of me.

I'm an old-fashioned girl,
in a new-fashion world
My heart can't take all this misery
I'm an old-fashioned girl,
in a high social world
I wish I was back home with my family.

What a lovely little jewel....
Tennessee....yes...I have heard of the place... Tennessee waltz..yes i strummed the chords to that song .....it must mean a lot to you...
"Was all a man wanted was a little bit of me" is a striking refrain...
I never breathed Tennessee air,
I'd like it more if you took me there....
