sunset on the mountain a half moon in the sky north star was a rising slowly shining in my eye tennessee was glowing misty brown and green we were all united singing to the land we ain t got no diamond studded cadillacs we ain t got no furry minks across our backs we don t worry about the things that we cant see we got all we need we got tennessee joes got rice and turkey macs got bread and wine we got something special taking good old tennessee vine sitting by the fire fiddle in my hand talking about the times we had singing to the land darkness falls behind me crickets join in song red bird on the wire chirping says to me so long snowdrift grounds behind me above the lofty pine soon ill be home dreaming smokies by my side
