Carl Perkins - Tennessee lyrics

Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from But when they start that stuff I let 'em be But it makes me feel like I wanna brag some To know that I come from the state of Tennessee Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville everyday Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it in that old Hillbilly way Mister Red Foley came from Kentucky Now, Ernest Tubb down in Texas, don't you see But if all you folks out there can remember Mister Eddy Arnold came from Tennessee Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville everyday Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it in that old hillbilly way They make bombs they say, that can blow up our world, dear Well a country boy like me, I will agree But if all you folks out there can remember They made the first atomic bomb in Tennessee Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville everyday Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it in that old hillbilly way Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville everyday Let's give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it in that old hillbilly way
