TENNESSEE
(Tommy Scott)
TOMMY SCOTT (FEDERAL 10011)

In the hills of Tennessee that's where I long to be
With my hound dog and old guitar
Pretty gal by my side, in a humpback we will ride
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
Tennessee (Tennessee), Tennessee (Tennessee)
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
Pretty gal by my side, in a humpback we will ride
Way back in the hills of Tennessee

When Saturday night rolls 'round, take a bath and hit the town
Dyked up with my fancy trappings on
With not a worry on my mind, when some pretty gal I'll find
And I'll take her to the old square dance
Square dance (square dance), square dance (square dance)
Just take her to the old square dance
With not a worry on my mind, when some pretty gal I'll find
Then I'll take her to the old square dance

When Sunday rolls around, all day singin' an' dinner on the ground
Oh, it brings back sweet memories to me
Of my boysie days at home, why did I ever have to roam
Far away from the hills of Tennessee
Tennessee (Tennessee), Tennessee (Tennessee)
Far away from the hills of Tennessee
Oh, my boysie days at home, why did I ever have to roam
Far away from the hills of Tennessee

Oh, in them hills of Tennessee that's where I long to be
With my hound dog and old guitar
Pretty gal by my side, in a humpback we will ride
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
Tennessee (Tennessee), Tennessee (Tennessee)
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
With a pretty gal by my side and a
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
