Beside the old cotton blossoms,
in dear Tennessee
Down where the old Mammy picks
Hold a night jubilee
Why it's a beautiful sight
when they all gather at night
'cause you'll just listen
and sigh with delight.
So go pack your grip
and take a trip
Down to old Harmony Way

Down old Harmony Way,
that's where the folks
are happy, they say,
'cause when the banjos tuning,
ev'rybody's spooning
and you feel so gay,
start to sway
to that loving music
no one ever feels blue
you'll find the girls
are tender and true.
You talk of turtle dovin'
they just live on lovin'
down in good old Harmony Way.

Down old Harmony Way,
that's where the folks
are happy, they say,
'cause when the banjos tuning,
ev'rybody's spooning
and you feel so gay,
start to sway
to that loving music
no one ever feels blue
you'll find the girls
are tender and true.
You talk of turtle dovin'
they just live on lovin'
down in good old Harmony Way.

Why there is no time for sorrow
in this sunny land
because the music you hear
there's the best in the land,
and ev'ry harmony strain,
say it just runs thro' your brain,
and you keep longing to hear it again.
That's why life's so sweet
in this retreat
Down to old Harmony Way.

Down old Harmony Way,
that's where the folks
are happy, they say,
'cause when the banjos tuning,
ev'rybody's spooning
and you feel so gay,
start to sway
to that loving music
no one ever feels blue
you'll find the girls
are tender and true.
You talk of turtle dovin'
they just live on lovin'
down in good old Harmony Way.

Down old Harmony Way,
that's where the folks

'cause when the banjos tuning,
ev'rybody's spooning
and you feel so gay,
start to sway
to that loving music
no one ever feels blue
you'll find the girls
are tender and true.
You talk of turtle dovin'
they just live on lovin'
down in good old Harmony Way.
