She's my curly headed baby Used to set on daddy's knee She's my curly headed baby Comes from sunny Tennessee I have loved her since I met her She is all the world to me She's my curly headed baby Comes from sunny Tennessee I'm a-gonna tell you 'bout these women I'm a-gonna tell you what they do Hang their heads up on your shoulder Flirt around with another too
I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun refuses to shine Than to see her with another When you promised to be mine I was happy when I kissed her And she gave her love to me She's the prettiest little baby That ever fell in love with me She's my curly headed baby And I hope someday to be Walking by her side forever Down in sunny Tennessee
