Tennessee River

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] Me and my woman's done made our plans On the Tennessee River, walking hand in hand Going to raise a family, Lord, settle down Where peace and love can still be found [Chorus][x3]
