Lyrics:

I was born across the river
On the mountains where I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why I ever had to roam

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in Mother Nature's band

Me and my woman done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a family, Lord settle down
Where peace and love can still be found

Tennessee River and mountain man
We get together every time we can.
Big Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in Mother Nature's band

Big Tennessee River

Tennessee River and mountain man
We get together anytime we can.
Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in Mother Nature's band

Tennessee River and mountain man
We get together anytime we can.
Tennessee River and a mountain man
We play together in Mother Nature's band
