You may call me a rover I have rambled around But I'll quit my roaming when I get to nashville town You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool But I'm burning into memphis on a flop-eared mule
I'm tennessee bound bound bound Bound bound bound Good lord I'm tennessee bound
Come a rolling down the mountain there's a girl of fourteen She's the sweetest apple blossom just a hillbilly queen I'm a coming round the mountain, don't you try to follow me I'm a gonna be her daddy when I get to tennessee
I'm tennessee bound bound bound Bound bound bound Good lord I'm tennessee bound
Ooh tennessee bound Ooh tennessee bound
Oh they say the stars in texas surely shine shine shine But I'd trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine I'm a coming through the desert if I have to I will crawl There's a paradise a waiting once I get through arkansas
I'm tennessee bound bound bound Bound bound bound Good lord I'm tennessee bound
