Erin Tennessee Male version in key of C

Sides Face, Grand Square
I left Ireland and crossed the Atlantic
At home once more there was no work to find
With a heavy heart I had to make that journey
With thoughts of friends and loved ones on my mind
Allemande and Weave
I landed in New York then traveled southwards
'Cause city life was never meant for me
I think it must’ve been God’s plan to lead me
To a little town called Erin Tennessee

Now very soon I met a pretty lady
She set my heart a whirlin’ all could see
I wanted her to be my one and only
My southern belle from Erin Tennessee
...
As we walked the hills I told her of my homeland
Far across the sea
I found love in that little bit of Ireland
Called Erin Tennessee

We settled on green rollin’ pastures
It was there that she took my hand
And we lived and loved and raised our children
Far away from my own native land
...
Now I often tell them of my homeland
Far across the sea
But, we have a  little bit of Ireland
Here in Erin Tennessee

Heads (Sides) Square Thru Four Hands Around Go
With The Sides (Heads) Make A Right Hand Star
Heads (Sides) Star Left One Time Around
Same Outside Do Your Right And Left Thru
Half Sashay Touch A Quarter, Scoot Back (Girls)
Star Thru And All Promenade
I found love in that little bit of  Ireland
Way down in Tennessee

Here in Erin Tennessee
