Darling Alalee

Traditional

1. Sweet Alalee, so dear to me
She's gone for ever more
My home was down in Tennessee
Before the cruel war

Chorus Then carry me back to Tennessee
        There's where I long to be
        Among the fields of yellow corn
        With my darling Alalee

2. Oh why did I from day to day
Keep wishing to be free
And from my master run away
And leave my Alalee

Chorus

3. They said that I would soon be free
And happy all the day
And if they'll take me back again
I'll never run away

Chorus
