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
 Tennessee (Tennessee)
 I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)
 The home of Davey Crockett in the hills of Tennessee.
 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
