Tennesse
You brought me up
You brought me up
You brought me up
Can it be
She brought me down
She brought me down
She brought me down
I'm a child of history
And I see
And I see
1875
Was the year
We really tried
She wanted to settle down
I'm a fool
I stayed around
Then the McAllisters
Came in
They took our land
They took our land
Mrs. McAllisters
She said
“Here's my bed
Here's my bed
Here's my bed“
Mr. McAllister has sent
Fifteen men
His very best
We can reach the
Missouri line
If we take
The 155
Mrs. McAllister's with me
Can't you see
