Lyrics:
First verse
Oh, away down south in Tennessee, That's the only place to be, Where all nature is in rhyme, Where the sun shines all the time; You can hear those bells a-ringing loud, Hear those darkeys singing proud; With thei rbanjoes on their knee, They are calling, calling me, In Tennessee, In Tennessee.
Chorus
In dear old Tennessee, That's where I long to be, Where skies are ever blue, And hearts are ever true; Where perfumed breezes blow, And sweet magnolias grow, That's where I long to be, Honey, In Tennessee. In dear old Tennessee, That's where I long to be, Where skies are ever blue, And hearts are ever true; Where perfumed breezes blow, And sweet magnolias grow, That's where I long to be, Honey, In Tennessee.
Second verse
Oh, away down south in Tennessee, Just you listen here to me, That's the state where I was born, That's the land of cotton and corn; That is where I left my Tennessee Belle, She's the gal that I loved so well; So, I'm going back to see My own babe in Tennessee, My Honey, In Tennessee.
(Chorus)
