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.

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 down 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.

Me and my woman's done made our plans

On the Tennessee River, walkin' 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.

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...
