Tennessee Border

Porter Wagoner · Thin Man From the West Plains (Bear Family) [1993]

(Jimmy Work)



Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn

Her smile was like an angel dear

She was her daddy's only daughter

On the Tennessee border.



One night I took a ride just across the line

I picked her up in my pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine

Her mother said no she's my only daughter

But we got married on the Tennesse border.

The roses were bloomin' on the border

The moon was shinin' from above

I fell in love the night I saw her

On the Tennessee border.



One night I took a ride just across the line

I picked her up in my pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine

Her mother said no she's my only daughter

But we got married on the Tennesse border...
