I bought a little cabin
In East Tennessee
A little hide-a-way for my baby and me
I won't have to work too hard
She'll pretty up the front yard
All I gotta do is give it a new tin roof
And every night
We're gonna snuggle down tight
Far away from these city lights
[Chorus]
Under my new tin roof
In a big bra** bed
Gonna listen to the raindrops
Beatin' overhead
Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat
Baby's gonna love that
And I'm gonna love her too
Under my new tin roof
I haven't given her roses since '83
I didn't give her no diamond rings
When she married me
Gonna make it up to her
And give her something that shines
On a moonlit night it's gonna light up the sky
And when I whisper I love her
She'll hear the music above her
[Chorus x3]
