Try a net search for 'Pete Gobel'.

It's a fine song, wish I knew the lyrics to send you.

Good luck in your search

I did a Google for both the title and Pete Goble. Got lots of hits, but no actual lyrics.

I have it as the title track on a fine LP by Bill Emerson and Pete Goble. I will transcribe it for you later unless someone else can readily oblige.

TENNESSEE 1949
(Peter Goble/Leroy Drumm)

I wonder if it's rainin' in the mountains
I wonder how the old town looks today
And if the church is there beside the river
Could I go back and find where mama lays
Does life still go to sleep just after sunset
Are the berries still as big on the vine
Do old men sit and talk about the old days
The way they did in nineteen forty-nine

Chorus:
Oh, oh, how I'd like to be
Back in the hills of Tennessee
Oh, oh, it would be so fine
If I could just go back to nineteen forty-nine

I wonder if by chance they might remember
The teenage boy so wild and fancy free
Who always loved guitars and country music
If I went back, would they remember me
I wonder what became of Catherine Acres (?)
A girl who broke my heart at seventeen
I barely can remember what she looked like
But thirty years ago she was a dream

Chorus

For many years I've searched the wide world over
For what I can't recall and didn't find
And now I'm searchin' pictures of my memory
For Tennessee in nineteen forty-nine

Chorus
