You have heard and read about the state of Tennessee

Down in the southern states is where I want to be

Where the valleys are so green and the mountains are so tall

You will know just what I mean when you hear 'em say yeehaw

Tennessee (Tennessee)

I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)

The home of Davy Crockett

In the hills of Tennessee

Now when I was a little boy around my folks at home

My mother always said to me, "Jimmy, please don't roam"

Now that I have strayed away my heart is full of woe

When I think of mom and dad that's where I want to go

Tennessee (Tennessee)

I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)

The home of Davy Crockett

In the hills of Tennessee

If ever I get back to that state of Tennessee

I tell you there'll be no more roaming for me

There lives a sweetheart who said she'd marry me

As soon as I get back to that state of Tennessee

Tennessee (Tennessee)

I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)

The home of Davy Crockett

In the hills of Tennessee
