Tennessee
Written by Vivian Rorie 
I do not know of another
state
Where I had rather be Than this great state I'm living in And that is Tennessee.
I love the stars dearly
And there are surely three That show the Grand Division Of my home-land, Tennessee.
Where could you find a
meadow
With grass so vividly green? Where could you find the mountains With such majestic scene?
You will never find so
bright a moon
To shine down from above You will also see the robin The wren, and the turtle dove.
And don't forget the rivers
Where visitors long to stay. And many have voice in parting, 'I'm sure glad I passed this way.'
You will see the cattle
grazing
Beside a cotton field; And there's the Grand Ole Opry And a feeling it's all God's will.
I have lived here all my
life
It's where I'm going to be Although I've traveled quite a bit, I'll still take Tennessee!
Oh, I sure love the state
I'm in:
The great state of Tennessee!" |
