Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
Take me back where my heart longs to be
Where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook
In the mountains of Tennessee

In my old mountain home where the wild roses bloom
Is a spot just like heaven to me
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
In the mountains of Tennessee

Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
Take me back to my old mothers knee
Where the stars shine bright and the birds are free
In the mountains of Tennessee

Round my old mountain home where I used to roam
Their waiting a welcome for me
Take me back to my old log cabin home
In the mountains of Tennessee
