  • I was born across the river
    In the mountains where I call home
    Lord, times were good there
    Don't know why I ever roamed

    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's 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

    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
    Oh, Tennessee River

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

    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

  • George from Vancouver BcWith this band name, I'd expect county -- they have a bit of that sound in this song, but I've always known them as a true rocking band of the era! A beautiful & symphonic blend of electric and acoustic guitars!
