TENNESSEE • Written by Vivian Rorie • I do not know of another stateWhere I had rather beThan this great state I'm living inAnd that is Tennessee. • I love the stars dearly And there are surely threeThat show the Grand DivisionOf my home-land, Tennessee. • Where could you find a meadowWith grass so vividly green?Where could you find the mountainsWith such majestic scene? • You will never find so bright a moonTo shine down from aboveYou will also see the robinThe wren, and the turtle dove. • And don't forget the riversWhere visitors long to stay.And many have voice in parting, 'I'm sure glad I passed this way.' • You will see the cattle grazingBeside a cotton field;And there's the Grand Ole OpryAnd a feeling it's all God's will.
