Tennessee Lyrics

Sunset on the mountain
A half moon in the sky
North Star was a rising slowly
Shining in my eye
Tennessee was glowing
Misty brown and green
We were all united
Singing to the land
[Chorus]
We ain't got no diamond studded Cadillacs
We ain't got no furry minks across our backs
We don't worry about the things that we can't see
We got all we need we got Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Joe's got rice and turkey
Mac's got bread and wine
We got something special taking
Good old Tennessee vine
Sitting by the fire
Fiddle in my hand
Talking about the times we had
Singing to the land
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Darkness falls behind me
Crickets join in song
Red bird on the wire chirping
Says to me, "So long."
Snowdrift grounds behind me
Above the lofty pine
Soon I'll be home dreaming
Smokies by my side

[Chorus]
