My Tennessee Mountain Home

My Tennessee Mountain Home - Maria Muldaur

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon

In a straight back chair on two legs leans against the wall

Watch the kids a playin' with June bugs on a string

And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop an eagle spreads it's wings

And a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday

With the one you love

Just laughin' talkin' making future plans

And when the folks ain't lookin'

You might steal a kiss or two

Just sittin' in the porch swing holdin' hands

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by

In my Tennessee mountain home
