[1] You have heard and read about the [4] state of [1] Tennessee
Down in the Southern states is [2maj] where I want to [5] be
Where the [1] valleys they're so green and the [4] mountains are so [1] tall
You will know just what I mean when you [5] hear them say [1] y'all

[4] Tennessee (Tennessee)
I hear you calling [1] me (I hear you calling me)
The home of Davy Crockett in the [5] hills of [1] Tennessee

Now when I was a little boy around my folks at home
My mother always said to me Jimmy please don't roam
Now that I have strayed away my heart is full of woe
When I think of Mom and Dad that's where I want to go

If ever I get back to that state of Tennessee
I tell you there'll be no more roaming for me
There lives a sweetheart who said she'd marry me
As soon as I get back to that state of Tennessee
