Tennessee

You have heard and read about the state of Tennessee Down in the southern states is where I want to be Where the valleys are so green and the mountains are so tall You will know just what I mean when you hear them say "Y'all" Tennessee (Tennessee) I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me) The home of Davey Crockett in the hills of Tennessee. When I was a little boy around the folks back home My mother always said to me Jimmy, please don't roam Now that I have gone away my heart is full of woe When I think of Mom and Dad that's where I want to go Tennessee (Tennessee) I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me) The home of Davey Crockett in the hills of Tennessee. If ever I get back to that state of Tennessee I tell you there'll be no more roaming for me There lives a sweetheart who said she'd marry me As soon as I get back to that state of Tennessee
