The Last Time
Momma made my uniform, Sewed a stripe on the shoulder
Papa wanted my company flag Bring it back when it's over
Jenny came to say goodbye And she said she would wait for me
On my stallion I sat high Leaving Tennessee
This is the last time I'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwood Keeps saying to me
'Cause the last time, You'll see Jenny
Will be the last time, You'll see Tennessee
I took her by the hand It was last September
My Jenny made that day One I would remember
I promised to return Soon after victory
Down the road I waved goodbye Joining Robert E. Lee
This is the last time I'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwood Keeps saying to me
'Cause the last time, You'll see Jenny
Will be the last time, You'll see Tennessee
I held her close to me As we lay by the river
And now I'm going to see The baby I'll give her
Momma made my uniform That I wore so gallantly
And Papa I'm sorry your flag Is wrapped all around me
This is the last time I'll see Jenny
That's what the cottonwood Keeps saying to me
'Cause the last time, You'll see Jenny
Will be the last time, You'll see Tennessee
