I do not know of another state-
Where I would 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!"
