Lay me down on porch at midnight get me high on the southern moonlight

Walk me down by the river star bright hold me my friend I'm home again

I'm a Tennessee woman who's been away from home

I know I don't belong in that city world

Old Smoky Mountains do you remember me I'm from Tennessee I'm just a local girl

[ piano ]

Make my bed where the sun can wake me from my dreams of childhood take me

Where the winds of time can't shake me help me unload this weight of the road

I'm a Tennessee woman...

I'm a Tennessee woman...
