Ellie Rhee - John Martyn

Ellie Rhee, so dear to me Is gone forever 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 Rhee.

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 Rhee

Carry me back to Tennessee

That’s where I long to be Among the fields of yellow, yellow corn

With my darling Ellie Rhee.

Oh Ellie Rhee so dear to me She’s gone forever 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 my Ellie Rhee.

With my darling my Ellie Rhee

With my darling my Ellie Rhee
