Lyrics from “Stewie” at Mudcat Café 

(B7)Lord, I'd give my (E7) last gold dollar
(A7) Yes, I'd give my gold watch and (D) chain
(B7) I would pawn this heart in (E7) my body
(A7) Just to see my darlin' (D) again

Don't this road look long and lonely
Don't the sea look wide and deep
Would you ever think of me darlin'
If you could not hear me speak

Take me back to North Carolina
Bring me back to Tennessee
Bring me back my blue-eyed darlin'
She is all this world to me

I remember last time I saw her
How my heart was torn with pain
When she said, 'Goodbye, God bless you
We may never meet again'

You may be with pride (?)
Some may tell you I'm not true
But, remember dearest, darlin'
No one loves you as I do

Every night in this creation
Bending on my tremblin' knee
Then I pray to God and ask him
'Oh, what does my sweetheart mean?'

Don't this road look long and lonely
Winding down this rocky stream
But, remember dearest, darlin'
You are always in my dreams
