Down where sweet magnolias bloom,
I hear my old mammy croon,
There she waits to take me by the hand
welcome me home to my dear old Dixieland,
Pine trees sigh and cry for me,
Old folks there would die for me,
Guess I'll start to tote my little grip
back to Tennessee.

Oh Tennessee
you are so dear to me
Yes Tennessee
I want you near to me,
Sing on, ring on,
Gee it sounds so grand,
friends I'm on my way.
The B and O will soon be hauling me
so goodbye troubles fade away
I'm going back to my Dixieland,
Oh Tennessee,
I'm coming back to you
my Tennessee.

Oh Tennessee
you are so dear to me
Yes Tennessee
I want you near to me,
Sing on, ring on,
Gee it sounds so grand,
friends I'm on my way.
The B and O will soon be hauling me
so goodbye troubles fade away
I'm going back to my Dixieland,
Oh Tennessee,
I'm coming back to you
my Tennessee.

There's where all the year is June,
There's where those red roses bloom,
Mocking birds sing Honey boy come homwe
we're mighty sad
but you all can make us glad,
Come friend take a glide with me,
Hop on, take a ride with me,
You'll be welcome where my mammy lives,
Back to Tennessee.

Oh Tennessee
you are so dear to me
Yes Tennessee
I want you near to me,
Sing on, ring on,
Gee it sounds so grand,
friends I'm on my way.
The B and O will soon be hauling me
so goodbye troubles fade away
I'm going back to my Dixieland,
Oh Tennessee,
I'm coming back to you
my Tennessee.

Oh Tennessee
you are so dear to me
Yes Tennessee
I want you near to me,
Sing on, ring on,
Gee it sounds so grand,
friends I'm on my way.
The B and O will soon be hauling me
so goodbye troubles fade away
I'm going back to my Dixieland,
Oh Tennessee,
I'm coming back to you
my Tennessee.
