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.

This mountain king, 's done left his throne
On the Tennessee River and his mountain home
But I'm goin' back, leavin' today
to my homeland, so far away

Drivin' down to Dixie, wastin' no time
Back to the good life I left behind
Goin' to the river with my fishin' line
I'm on Lookout Mountain about suppertime

repeat chorus

A E D C A
Me and my woman's done made our plans on the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
G Gis A E D A
Gonna raise a fam'ly, Lord, settle down where peace and love can still be found.

repeat chorus, then increase tempo, and play chords to the chorus on the fiddle solo.
