My Tennessee Mountain Home Lyrics - Maria Muldaur - Maria Muldaur

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon 

In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall 

Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string 

And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall 

In my Tennessee mountain home 

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh 

In my Tennessee mountain home 

Crickets sing in the fields near by 

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane 

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet 

And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings 

An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

In my Tennessee mountain home 

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh 

In my Tennessee mountain home 

Crickets sing in the fields near by 

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love 

Just laughin', talkin', making future plans 

And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two 

Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
