Barefoot McCoy - Tennessee Lyrics
Past the big south fork where the last free waters flowBeyond the lowly valley with the golden river stonesIn the iron mountains where the hills hide in the smokeThe place I keep my heart, and the place I call my homeThough she's far awayI can hear her whisper flowin’ softly through the swayin' summer treesAnd I'm okay‘Long as I can feel her breathin' gently on the misty mountain breezeMy sweet lady,TennesseeMiles past the forest where the huntin’ black bear roamsSomewhere in the hollow where the yellow lilacs growBeyond the quiet basin with the little wooden boatsThe place I keep my heart, and the place I call my homeThough she's far awayI can hear her whisper flowin’ softly through the swayin' summer treesAnd I'm okay‘Long as I can feel her breathin' gently on the misty mountain breezeMy sweet lady,TennesseeThough she's far awayI can hear her whisper flowin’ softly through the swayin' summer treesAnd I'm okay‘Long as I can feel her breathin' gently on the misty mountain breezeMy sweet lady,Tennessee
