¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ Now when I was a little boy¶ And the folks at home¶ Mama always said to me¶ Well, please don't roam¶ But now that I'm straight away¶ My heart is full of hope¶ And when I think of Mom and Dad¶ That's where I want to go¶ Tennessee¶ I hear you calling me¶ I hear you calling me¶ All day clocking in¶ The hills of Tennessee¶¶¶ Now when I get back¶ To the state of Tennessee¶ You can bet there'll be¶ No more running around for me¶ Cause there I've got a sweetheart¶ Who said she'd marry me¶ If ever I get back¶ To the state of Tennessee¶ Tennessee¶ Tennessee¶ Tennessee¶ I hear you calling me¶ I hear you calling me¶ All day clocking in¶ The hills of Tennessee
