Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
A E
take me back where my heart longs to be,
where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook,
B7
in the mountains of Tennessee.
E
In my old mountain home, where the wild roses bloom,
A E
is a spot just like heaven to me.
A E
Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
B7 E
in the mountains of Tennessee.
E
Take me back, take me back to my old mountain home,
A E
take me back to my old mother’s knee,
where the stars shine bright and the birds sing free,
B7
in the mountains of Tennessee.
E
Round my old mountain home, where I used to roam,
A E
they’re waiting a welcome for me.
A E
Take me back to my old log cabin home,
B7 E
in the mountains of Tennessee.
