You may call me a rover I have rambled around
But I'll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town
You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool
But I'm burning into Memphis on a flop-eared muleI'm Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good Lord I'm Tennessee boundCome a rolling down the mountain there's a girl of fourteen
She's the sweetest apple blossom just a hillbilly queen
I'm a coming round the mountain, don't you try to follow me
I'm a gonna be her daddy when I get to TennesseeI'm Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good Lord I'm Tennessee bound
I'm Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good Lord I'm Tennessee boundOoh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee boundOh they say the stars in Texas surely shine shine shine
But I'd trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine
I'm a coming through the desert if I have to I will crawl
There's a paradise a waiting once I get through ArkansasI'm Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good Lord I'm Tennessee boundI'm Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good Lord I'm Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
