[Verse 1] 

Sittin' on the

 front porch 
             
On a summer af

   
ternoon 
     
In a straightb

ack chair on t

wo legs 
             
Leaned against

     
 the wall 

Watch the kids a-playin'
             
With June bugs

      
 on a string 
    
And chase the 

glowin' firefl

ies
             
When evenin' s

       
hadows fall 
 
[Chorus] 
              
In my Tennesse

  
e mountain hom

e 
             
Life is as pea

             
ceful as a bab

    
y's sigh 
              
In my Tennesse

  
e mountain hom

e 
             
Crickets sing 

             
in the fields 

    
nearby 

[Verse 2] 

Honeysuckle vi

ne clings 
             
To the fence a

         
long the lane 
             
Their fragranc

             
e makes the su

             
mmer wind so s

weet 

And on a distant hilltop 
             
An eagle sprea

       
ds its wings 
      
And a songbird

 on a fence po

st 
          
Sings a melody

 

[Chorus]
              
In my Tennesse

  
e mountain hom

e 
             
Life is as pea

             
ceful as a bab

    
y's sigh 
              
In my Tennesse

  
e mountain hom

e 
             
Crickets sing

[Verse 3] 

Walkin' home f

Sunday 
             
With the one y

And when the folks ain't lookin'
