I was born across the river
In the mountain that I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why I ever roamed


chorus:


Oh, tennessee river and a mountain man
We get together any time we can
Oh, tennessee river and a mountain man
We play together in mother nature's band


Me and my woman done made plans
Oh the tennessee river walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a fam'ly, lord, settle down
Where peace and love can still be found


Chorus


Oh tennessee river


8 bar fiddle solo


Chorus


8 bar fiddle solo


Chorus


Oh tennessee river


Fiddle solo and fade
