Tennessee River

I was born across the river

In the mountains where I call home

Lord, times were good there

Don't know why, I ever roamed

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in mother nature's band

Me and my woman's done made our plans

On the Tennessee River, walking hand in hand

Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down

Where peace and love can still be found

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in mother nature's band

This mountain king done left his throne

On the Tennessee River and his mountain home

But I'm going back, leaving today

For my homeland so far away

Driving to Dixie, wasting no time

Back to the good life I left behind

Going to the river with my fishing line

Climb back up the mountain by supper time

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in Mother Nature's band

Oh, Tennessee River

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in Mother Nature's band

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in Mother Nature's band

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We get together anytime we can

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man

We play together in Mother Nature's band

Oh, Tennessee River
