Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I was born across the riv-er

  in the moun-tains where I call home.

  Lord, times were good there. Don't know why

  I ever roamed_____

Chorus

 Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,

  We get to-gether anytime we can.

  Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,

  we play to-gether in Mother Nature's band.

Verse 2

Me and my woman's done made our plans

  on the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand

  Gonna raise a fam-ly, Lord, settle down

  where peace and love can still be found.

Repeat Chorus, then increase tempo, and play chords to the chorus on the

fiddle solo.

Enjoy! I love playin' this song.

P.S. in the live version on CD, they do an extra verse in the middle the

lyrics to it are:

This mountain king, 's done left his throne

On the Tennessee River and his mountain home

But I'm goin' back, leavin' today

to my homeland, so far away

Drivin' down to Dixie, wastin' no time

Back to the good life I left behind

Goin' to the river with my fishin' line

I'm on Lookout Mountain about suppertime
