Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn Her smile was like an angel fair 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 a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine Her mama said, "No, she's my only daughter" But we got married on the Tennessee border
The roses were bloomin' there on the border The moon was shinin' there Her personality made me want her On the Tennessee border
