Tennessee

Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from

But when they start that stuff, I let 'em be

But it makes me feel like I wanna brag some

To know that I come from the state of TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it up in Nashville every day

Let's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it in that old Hillbilly wayMister Red Foley came from Kentucky

Now, Ernest Tubb down in Texas, don't you see

But if all you folks out there can remember

Mister Eddy Arnold came from TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it up in Nashville everyday

Let's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it in that old hillbilly wayThey make bombs they say, that can blow up our world, dear

Well a country boy like me, I will agree

But if all you folks out there can remember

They made the first atomic bomb in TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it up in Nashville everyday

Let's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it in that old hillbilly wayLet's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it up in Nashville everyday

Let's give old Tennessee credit for music

As they play it in that old hillbilly way
