Tennessee

Tennesse
You brought me up
You brought me up
You brought me up

Can it be
She brought me down
She brought me down
She brought me down

I'm a child of history
And I see
And I see

1875
Was the year
We really tried

She wanted to settle down
I'm a fool
I stayed around

Then the McAllisters
Came in
They took our land
They took our land

Mrs. McAllisters
She said
“Here's my bed
Here's my bed
Here's my bed“

Mr. McAllister has sent
Fifteen men
His very best

We can reach the
Missouri line
If we take
The 155

Mrs. McAllister's with me
Can't you see
