E
I was born in Renfro Valley
B7
But I drifted far a- way
E
I came back to see the old home
B7 E E7
And my friends of other days
A E
Gone are old familiar faces
B7
All my friends I used to know
E A
Things have changed in Renfro Valley
B7 E
Since the days of long a- go
E
Others own the old plantation
B7
I can't call it home no more
E
Other sing the old songs
B7 E E7
Other children 'round the door
A E
Other voices sing the old songs
B7
When the evening sun is low
E
Mother sang in Renfro Valley
B7 E
In the days of long a- go
E
Take me back to Renfro Valley
B7
When I'm free from earthly cares
E
Lay me down by Dad and Mother
B7 E E7
Let me sleep forever there
A E
When it's springtime in the mountains
B7
And the dogwood blossom blows
E
We'll be back in Renfro Valley
B7 E
As in days of long a- go
