Tennessee River Runs Low |
| If I were born to be a river |
| If a river is all I’d be |
| I’d tell the giver of all of the rivers |
| To make me the Tennessee |
| How many drops of rain roll |
| Off of how many windowpanes |
| Down to a valley low |
| Where a river like me begins to grow |
| I sing a mournful song |
| As I rush and ramble along |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee-oh |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh |
| I bury secrets deep |
| I keep them down where the catfish creep |
| Where the rolling tide |
| Can’t reach the things that I hide |
| I hum a mournful tune |
| In the Alabama June |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh |
| And I sing |
| Oh dee, dee-dee-dee |
| Oh doo, doo-doo-doo |
| Oh oh, oh-oh-oh |
| Even the Tennessee river runs low |
| When the sky is bright and clear |
| Not a cloud above you |
| You can float in knowing, dear |
| That I was made to love you |
| When the storm is raging |
| All the light is fading |
| The river sings along with me |
| Reaching for that minor key |
| Color me blue and gray |
| River, carry me fast away |
| Flood all the rocks and grills |
| On for the mighty hill |
| I am the Tennessee |
| See you down at the stormy sea |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee |
| Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh |
| And I sing |
| Oh dee, dee-dee-dee |
| Oh doo, doo-doo-doo |
| Oh oh, oh-oh-oh |
| Even the Tennessee river runs low |
| The Tennessee river runs low |
| Even the Tennessee river runs low |
