Intro:  E    B  (X3)

E
You may call me a rover I have rambled around
                                B                E
But I'll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town
E
You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool
                                  B          E
But I'm burning into Memphis on a flop-eared mule


(Chorus)
E
I'm Tennessee bound bound bound
E
Bound bound bound
              B         E
Good Lord I'm Tennessee bound


E
Come a rolling down the mountain there's a girl of fourteen
                                        B         E
She's the sweetest apple blossom just a hillbilly queen
E
I'm a coming round the mountain, don't you try to follow me
                                B            E
I'm a gonna be her daddy when I get to Tennessee


(Chorus)
E
I'm Tennessee bound bound bound
E
Bound bound bound
              B         E
Good Lord I'm Tennessee bound

(Repeat Chorus)

E
Oh they say the stars in Texas surely shine shine shine
                                          B        E
But I'd trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine
E
I'm a coming through the desert if I have to I will crawl
                                    B                E
There's a paradise a waiting once I get through Arkansas


(Chorus)
E
I'm Tennessee bound bound bound
E
Bound bound bound
              B         E
Good Lord I'm Tennessee bound
