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.

Chorus:
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, walkin' hand in
Hand.
Gonna raise a family, lord settle down where peace and love can still be
Found.

Chorus

Oh, tennessee river.

Chorus

Oh, tennessee river.
