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.
One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in my pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border.
--- Instrumental ---
The roses were bloomin' on the border
The moon was shinin' from above
I fell in love the night I saw her
On the Tennessee border.
One night I took a ride just across the line
I picked her up in my pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
Her mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border...
