Tennessee Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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
