Watertown Tennessee

(Tom T. Hall)



I got a little farm and it's mostly rock

It ain't too much but it's all I got

Bluebirds singing in the evergreen trees in Watertown Tennessee

Hey, Watertown Tennessee.



People in Watertown will never do die

When they reach a hundred they can truly fly

Sail into heaven on a southerly breeze in Watertown Tennessee

Hey, Watertown Tennessee.



--- Instrumental ---



I had me an outhouse down by the creek

Prettiest outhouse you ever did see

Flood came along now I'm up the creek in Watertown Tennessee

Hey, Watertown Tennessee.



Well, a big old redhawk circling around

Looking for a chicken down here on the ground

Sometimes he gets as high as me in Watertown Tennessee

Hey, Watertown Tennessee.



--- Instrumental ---



When I get to heaven if I ever do die

I'm a gonna cut me a hole in the sky

Sittin' in a mansion and all I'll see is Watertown Tennessee

Hey, Watertown Tennessee.



Now if you want to be famous and you want to be rich

People in Watertown taught me a trick

I'm gonna tell it if I stay around

Long whups, that's the end of this song

Called Watertown Tennessee...
