The Mountains of Tennessee - Carter Family

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
