I was born across the river in the mountains where 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 anytime we can.

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man, we play together in Mother Nature's

band.



Me and my woman's done made our plans on the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in

hand.

Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down where peace and love can still be

found.



Chorus



Oh, Tennessee River.



Chorus



Oh, Tennessee River.
