Wind in the trees

A blowin' the leaves

When I hear that music

I'm feelin' at ease

There's no other place

My feet might roam

Quite nice as my Tennessee home



Mountains above

Valley below

Ain't no need to hurry

I can just take it slow

There's a song in them hills

It's a callin' me

Sayin' come set your heart free



In my Tennessee home

Deep in the hills

I can sing with the crickets

And the Whippoorwills

It's here that I'll stay

Till my dyin' day

Here in my Tennessee home



My wife by my side

Children at play

So simple and sweet

Good Lord planned it that way

It's how I've been taught

Since my birthin' day

And I reckon that's how it will stay



In my Tennessee home

Deep in the hills

I can sing with the crickets

And the Whippoorwills

It's here that I'll stay

Till my dyin' day

Here in my Tennessee home



In the Tennessee hills

Where I was born

I can hear summer's sweet serenade

Or see the new fallen snow

On a winter's morn

The frostin' that's pure heaven made

The frostin' that's pure heaven made



Wind in he trees

A blowin' the leaves

When I hear that music

I'm feelin' at ease

There's no other place

My feet might roam

Quite nice as my Tennessee home



In my Tennessee home

Deep in the hills

I can sing with the crickets

And the Whippoorwills

It's here that I'll stay

Till my dyin' day

Here in my Tennessee home

Here in my Tennessee home

Here in my Tennessee home
