HIGHLANDS OF TENNESSEE ©
Download the song (MP3 format)
Sweet honeysuckle in the mountain air
Floats on down to the courthouse square
Friends let you know that you've come back home
With a handshake solid as the Standing Stone
(CHORUS:)
CANEY FORK ROLLS LIKE MY MEMORIES
THRU THE MORNING MIST BY THE DOGWOOD TREES
RED TAIL HAWK'S CALLING OUT TO ME
COME UP TO THE HIGHLANDS OF TENNESSEE
COME UP TO THE HIGHLANDS OF TENNESSEE
Bright green leaves form a canopy
On that river trail
Won't you come with me
As we walk along falling waters call
We could wind our way Down to Burgess Falls
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Bridge:
Oooh, you can hear that whistle blow
When the train pulls in to the old depot
Bell so loud, it's bound to ring
From Monterey to Red Boiling Springs
Back in the woods of the Big South Fork
You can hear the tales of brave Alvin York
And the people there love their freedom still
Like the eagles flying over Fancher's Mill
(REPEAT CHORUS)
