The Carter Family - The Mountains of Tennessee lyrics

[Verse] 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 Around 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
