In the beautiful hills,
C

in the midst of Rome county,
That's where I have lived for
A

That's where my heart has
C

tended most ever,

That's where the first step
G
D

of misfortune I made,
C
G
C
For nearly five years I courted
C

Amanda Gilbraith was
A

then called my wife

for some unknown reason

Just three months later,

For thirty -five years,

way back in Rome County

in the village of Old Kingston
Not a man in the county
A

would speak one fine word
G
When the jury came in
C

with a verdict next morning
C

My lifetime in prison
D

was the word that I heard

A

an d the handcuffs were tight

When young Diddy Gleeson

Takin' hold of the throttle

Oh, hundred and thirty

was soon out of sight
C

Men went to the mine

In the fields of Big Brushy

But I'm going to the pen

Just to labor and worry
D

C
G
D

The rest of my day
C

In the scorching hot sun

My life all the way
G
They'll measure my grave
C

on the bank of old Tumala
C

Just as soon as I've finished
D

the rest of my days
C

See, Pollard was great,
C

from the prison in Nashville

Place a verse of this song

in your letter for me

No matter what happens

No matter how long my sentence may be

I love my old home,

way back in Rose County,
