Tennessee Mountain Girl

Well I was taking my time, shuffling a line I had to get back on the road Same old features, night time creatures Make a boy feel pretty old Well, drifting here and there without a worry or a care I wonder when my trail was coming to an end Then I saw the one in the Appalchian sun Riding six white horses round the bend And she said my name with a country twang And my heart fell on the floor All my life, I've been a-waiting For a Tennassee Mountain girl She said she was a teacher and her daddy was a preacher And I can testify that she was blessed And I knew she was a winner when she served me dinner I was praying she might give me a kiss Well I know that I'm a sinner but she was no beginner When she took me from the bar She had me singing good ole rocky top Underneath the Knoxville stars Well she was a treasure and I'm glad I met her But she left me wanting more All my life, I've been a-waiting For a Tennassee Mountain Girl And when I was in Denver I certainly remember How the women there treated me kind But I miss the thrills of a holler and the hills And the girl with the smoky mountain eyes And I tried Atlanta, and Bozeman Montana Seattle, Santa Fe and Albany But nothing compares with the sweet southern fare Of the little girl I met in Tennessee And I remember when she said my name with a country twang I left my heart there on the floor All my life I've been a-waiting For a Tennassee Mountain Girl All my life I've been a-waiting For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
