I bought a little cabin In East Tennessee A little hide-a-way for my baby and me I won't have to work too hard She'll pretty up the front yard All I gotta do is give it a new tin roof And every night We're gonna snuggle down tight Far away from these city lights [Chorus] Under my new tin roof In a big bra** bed Gonna listen to the raindrops Beatin' overhead Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat Baby's gonna love that And I'm gonna love her too Under my new tin roof I haven't given her roses since '83 I didn't give her no diamond rings When she married me Gonna make it up to her And give her something that shines On a moonlit night it's gonna light up the sky And when I whisper I love her She'll hear the music above her [Chorus x3]
