Her eyes were blue her hair was auburn
Her smile was like an angel dear
She was her daddys only daughter
On the Tennessee border

One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her Mother said no she’s my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennessee border

The roses bloomed around the border
The moon shone down from above
I fell in love the night I saw her
On the Tennessee border

[1] Her eyes were blue her hair was [5] auburn
Her smile was like an angel [1] dear
She was her daddys only [5] daughter
On the Tennessee [1] border

One [4] night I took a ride just across the [1] line
I [2maj] picked her up in a pickup truck and [5] she broke this heart of mine
Her [1] Mother said no [5] she’s my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennessee [1] border

The roses bloomed around the border
The moon shone down from above
I fell in love the night I saw her
On the Tennessee border
