And my friends of other days

Gone are old familiar faces

All my friends I used to know

Things have changed in Renfro Valley

Since the days of long a- go

Others own the old plantation

I can't call it home no more

Other sing the old songs
B7 E E7
Other children 'round the door

Other voices sing the old songs

When the evening sun is low

Mother sang in Renfro Valley

In the days of long a- go

Take me back to Renfro Valley

And the dogwood blossom blows

We'll be back in Renfro Valley

As in days of long a- go
