"Home In Tennessee" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

Oh, yes, I'm going back
To my home in Tennessee
Back to the girl that's waiting
In the cotton fields to see
There's a mother and a dad
That's waiting patiently
And the place I'm longing for tonight
Is my home in Tennessee

[Instrumental break]

I've sailed the skies in airplanes
To a place called Bunker Hill
I've dropped from the clouds in a parachute
And, oh, boys, what a thrill
I've saw shells fall in no man's land
And dined on the great prairie
But the place I'm longing for tonight
Is my home in Tennessee

Oh, yes, I'm going back
To my home in Tennessee
Back to the girl that's waiting
In the cotton fields to see
There's a mother and a dad
That's waiting patiently
And the place I'm longing for tonight
Is my home in Tennessee

[Instrumental break]

I've been to 'Frisco's golden gate
Also that of Maine
I've been to the Rocky Mountains
And back down again
Been up to old New York
Saw the Statue of Liberty
But the place I'm longing for tonight
Is my home in Tennessee

Oh, yes, I'm going back
To my home in Tennessee
Back to the girl that's waiting
In the cotton fields to see
There's a mother and a dad
That's waiting patiently
And the place I'm longing for tonight
Is my home in Tennessee
