Won’t you tell us Miss Minnie,
Miss Minnie Green,
tell us where have you been to,
and the places you seen?
For the clock on the wall,
says it’s time to go.
Won’t you stay with us Minnie,
stay with us Minnie,
Minnie Green we’ll miss you so.
Are you goin’ to Georgia,
to see your family.
or to Cumberland Gap.
here in ol’ Tennessee.
You will always have a place,
in our hearts don’t you know?
So stay with us Minnie,
stay with us Minnie,
Minnie Green we’ll miss you so.
Now they say that parting,
is sorrow that’s sweet,
but without you
our day’s incomplete.
Fare thee well Miss Minnie,
Miss Minnie Green.
you are a friend indeed,
for this friend in need.
And when ‘ere we forget
what true friendship means.
We'll remember you Minnie
think of you Minnie,
think of you Miss Minnie green.
