Bill Monroe Tennessee Lyrics

Tennessee Lyrics

You have heard and read about the state of Tennessee

Down in the southern states is where I wanna be

Where the valleys are so green and mountains are so tall

You will know just what I mean when you hear them say "You all"



Tennessee

(Tennessee)

I hear you callin' me

(I hear you callin' me)

The home of Davy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee



When I was a little boy around the folks at home

My mama always said to me, "Jimmy, please don't roam"

Now that I have straight away my heart is full of woe

When I think of Mom and Dad that's where I wanna go



Tennessee

(Tennessee)

I hear you callin' me

(I hear you callin' me)

The home of Davy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee



If ever I get back to that state of Tennessee

I tell you there'll be no more roamin' for me

There lives a sweetheart who said, "She'd marry me"

As soon as I get back to that state of Tennessee



Tennessee

(Tennessee)

I hear you calling me

(I hear you calling me)

The home of Davy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee
