I am feeling blue,
don't know what to do,
Lordy! How my heart just aches
for some good corn bread
and buck wheat cakes,
Miss my Lindy Lee,
Jay bird in the tree,
seems to whistle all day long
come back my boy to me.
The grandest sight I know
is when the Dixie Moon's aglow.

Well I want to be,
yes I want to be
in the moonlight land that's Tennessee
where the Jay bird sings
in the old oak tree
and the Bob White
calls you in the morning,
Where the skies are fair
and the old bay mare
why she won second prize
at the county fair,
Goodbye boys,
I'm leaving for the state
that's calling me.
Where the bees are busy buzzing
in the clover blossom time
and the honeysuckles blooming
'round the morning glory vine
weep no more my Lindy Lee
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to
T E double N E double S double E
I'm coming back to Tennessee.

Well I want to be,
yes I want to be
in the moonlight land that's Tennessee
where the Jay bird sings
in the old oak tree
and the Bob White
calls you in the morning,
Where the skies are fair
and the old bay mare
why she won second prize
at the county fair,
Goodbye boys,
I'm leaving for the state
that's calling me.
Where the bees are busy buzzing
in the clover blossom time
and the honeysuckles blooming
'round the morning glory vine
weep no more my Lindy Lee
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to
T E double N E double S double E
I'm coming back to Tennessee.
