Tennessee
Written by Vivian Rorie I do not know of another state Where I had rather be Than this great state I'm living in And that is Tennessee. I love the stars dearly And there are surely three That show the Grand Division Of my home-land, Tennessee. |

Where could you find a meadow With grass so vividly green? Where could you find the mountains With such majestic scene? You will never find so bright a moon To shine down from above You will also see the robin The wren, and the turtle dove. You will never find so bright a moon To shine down from above You will also see the robin The wren, and the turtle dove. |

And don't forget the rivers
Where visitors long to stay. And many have voice in parting, 'I'm sure glad I passed this way.' You will see the cattle grazing Beside a cotton field; And there's the Grand Ole Opry And a feeling it's all God's will. |

I have lived here all my life It's where I'm going to be Although I've traveled quite a bit, I'll still take Tennessee! Oh, I sure love the state I'm in: The great state of Tennessee!" |
