TENNESSEE BORDER
(Jimmy Work)

Her eyes were blue. Her hair was auburn.
Her smile was like an angel dear.
She was her daddy's only daughter
On the Tennessee border.

CHORUS: One night I took a ride just across the line.
I picked her up in a pick-up truck and she broke this heart of mine.
Her mother said, "No, she's my only daughter."
But we got married on the Tennessee border.

The roses were bloomin' on the border.
The moon was shining from above.
I fell in love the night I saw her
On the Tennessee border. CHORUS

[Recorded by Red Foley (1949), by Jimmy Work (1959), Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Williams, and others.]
