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
