Mountains of tennessee

Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
take me back where my heart longs to be,
where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook,
in the mountains of Tennessee.
In my old mountain home, where the wild roses bloom,
is a spot just like heaven to me.
Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
in the mountains of Tennessee.

Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
take me back to my old mother's knee,
where the stars shine bright and the birds sing free,
in the mountains of Tennessee.
Round my old mountain home, where I used to roam,
they're waiting a welcome for me.
Take me back to my old log cabin home,
in the mountains of Tennessee.
