| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 down to Dixie, wasting no time
|
| Back to the good life I left behind
|
| Going to the river with my fishing line
|
| Up on lookout mountain about supper time
|
| Sing it
|
| 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
|
| Sooiieee
|
| 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 |
