I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why, I ever roamed Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in mother nature's band Me and my woman's done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walking hand in hand
Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down
Where peace and love can still be found Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in mother nature's band
Oh, Tennessee River Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in mother nature's band Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in mother nature's band
Oh, Tennessee River
