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 fourteen

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

[x2]

Ooh Tennessee bound

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

[x2]

Ooh Tennessee bound

Ooh Tennessee bound

Ooh Tennessee bound

Ooh Tennessee bound
