Tennessee Bound

You may call me a rover, I have rambled around

But I'll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town

You may call me a liar, or a hard-headed fool

But I'm burning into memphis on a flop-eared mule

I'm Tennessee bound, bound, bound

Bound, bound, bound

Good Lord, I'm Tennessee bound

Come a-rolling down the mountain, there's a girl of 14

She's the sweetest apple blossom, just a hillbilly queen

I'm a-coming round the mountain, don't you try to follow me

I'm a-gonna be her daddy when I get to Tennessee

I'm Tennessee bound, bound, bound

Bound, bound, bound

Good Lord, I'm Tennessee bound

I'm Tennessee bound, bound, bound

Bound, bound, bound

Good Lord, I'm Tennessee bound

Goin' on, ol' man

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound

Oh, they say the stars in Texas surely shine, shine, shine

But I'd trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine

I'm a-coming through the desert, if I have to I will crawl

There's a paradise a-waiting once I get through Arkansas

I'm Tennessee bound, bound, bound

Bound, bound, bound

Good Lord, I'm Tennessee bound

I'm Tennessee bound, bound, bound

Bound, bound, bound

Good Lord, I'm Tennessee bound

Yeah, pourin' home for me now

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound

Ooh-ooh, Tennessee bound
