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

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
