Carl Perkins Tennesee Lyrics

Tennesee Lyrics

Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from
But when they
start that stuff I let 'em be
But it makes me feel like I wanna brag
some
To know that I come from the state of Tennessee

Let's give old
Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville everyday
Let's
give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in that old Hillbilly
way

Mister Red Foley came from Kentucky
Now, Ernest Tubb down in
Texas, don't you see
But if all you folks out there can remember
Mister
Eddy Arnold came from Tennessee

Let's give old Tennessee credit for
music
As they play it up in Nashville everyday
Let's give old Tennessee
credit for music
As they play it in that old hillbilly way

They make
bombs they say, that can blow up our world, dear
Well a country boy like me,
I will agree
But if all you folks out there can remember
They made the
first atomic bomb in Tennessee

Let's give old Tennessee credit for
music
As they play it up in Nashville everyday
Let's give old Tennessee
credit for music
As they play it in that old hillbilly way

Let's give
old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville
everyday
Let's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in
that old hillbilly way
