Dolly Parton - My Tennessee Mountain Home Lyrics






Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall

[Chorus:]
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

[Chorus]

Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

[Chorus]

    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home

  5. S.... B....

    Awesome.. heart singing x

  6. b.... ....

    Seriously, she had the sweetest, most beautiful smile that there ever could be. Also, when she sings 'in my Tennessee mountain home', so much could go wrong there but she nails that high part every time.

  7. A.... R....

    I just fried an egg with some bear grease that I bought off an old country gentleman from Sevier County, Tennessee. He was a real nice guy. Thank you for the song, Dolly. Tennessee is a gorgeous place.

  8. D.... M....

    Smokeshow!

  9. S.... F....

    when i here this song i always picture me sitting on front porch . then my tears start to come becueas i been so cloes to it my self, so i can see my self in here . I loved dollys songs sence i was a young Kid , she followed me thru life , the sencerity of her songs a unbelievable .And when she passes it will be a big lost for this worlrd and country music and gossple, and for ppl that look up to her and her singing Bless you Dolly xxx

  10. l.... ....

    Brought here by Dolly Parton's America and not a country music fan, but she has a voice of made of pure honey.

  11. J.... L....

    My favorite Dolly song

  12. F.... R....

    Love this. How old was she here?

    F.... R....

    27 or 28. She was born in 1946 and released this song in 1973, leaving the Porter Wagoner show the year after that.

  13. D.... S....

    It's my theory that Dolly Parton is the only person that everyone in America loves whether they're urban or rural, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, gay or straight.

    D.... S....

    Change that to "everyone in the world" and you're right :-) She's loved all over the world. I've talked to people from Nigeria who says this song makes them think of their home town where they grew up :-)

    D.... S....

    i know this comment is two months old, but if you havent listened to the podcast called Dolly Parton's America, you should; the entire 9 episodes are about the universal likability of Dolly, and a lot of it is direct interviewing with dolly.

    D.... S....

    Porter was so damn jealous of Dolly! He knew her talent was light years ahead of his. Unfortunately he could never admit it publicly. Dolly stayed Classy, while Porter was an ass.

  14. P.... D....

    Miss Dolly was a beauty

  15. R.... W....

    Dolly said she "never felt like she was pretty!?" Whaaaat?

    R.... W....

    Rachelle Walters ikr she was a doll 😍

  16. i.... y....

    I live in Tennessee and were dolly parton fans and we love to go to the mountains

  17. M.... B....

    Dolly makes me wanna cry.

  18. A.... A....

    I wish I had a Tennessee mountain home...

  19. A.... S....

    Great talent. I like Dolly 's voice.

  20. N.... K....

    Anybody else starting to hate that Facebook dog? Dolly's great though.

  21. A.... B....

    Why do I keep seeing Miley Cyrus in Dolly's face. Same facial expressions though 😎

  22. s.... ....

    Queen of Queens

  23. R.... ....

    It doesn't matter what is going on, as soon as I see that smile and hear that voice, all is right in the world. Love Dolly!!

  24. s.... b....

    Thanks you, miss dolly parton, love you!

  25. s.... b....

    In my tennisee my real home, i hope zoon where no mafia neighbours of kronenberg Arnhem the Nederland are to broke in my home!

  26. s.... b....

    In my tennisweer my real home i hope zoon!

  27. C.... G....

    Awesome!

  28. P.... ....

    Dolly Parton is the epitome of femininity.

  29. n.... c....

    Is it just me or is portor wagnor creepy

  30. G.... T....

    The Best song among the Best!!!

  31. Y.... M....

    So wonderful

  32. m.... v....

  33. B.... M....

    I love my east tn mountain home 😁

  34. C.... d....

    I hate the announcer so much, but Dolly's brilliant charm and light shine only stronger and brighter in the face of his toxicity!

  35. 3.... ....

    I love how the web allows you to time travel.

  36. P.... S....

    my childhood memories are full of dolly's songs playing on cassette while my mum set up arts and crafts

  37. s.... ....

    really a great song

  38. L.... V....

    Is there a better song ? I doubt it.

  39. M.... G....

    The most beautiful song

  40. A.... B....

    Dolly makes all her songs seem so easy to sing (they're not)

    A.... B....

    Easy for me but then again my family is from the same area Dolly is from in Sevier County TN.

    A.... B....

    Agreed - The lady has some serious pipes!! (brought here courtesy of the "Dolly Parton's America" podcast.

  41. O.... M....

    Love this woman so much

  42. f.... p....

    We used to laugh at and make fun of dolly parton when we were kids especially the breeze detergent commercials... I think maria muldaur's cover of this song was the beginning of of Dolly achieving more credibility.

  43. Q.... P....

    Shit makes me want to cry............damn

  44. m.... n....

    i never realised what a goddess she is..

  45. H.... O....

    Missing my lovely hometown down southern part of Nigeria

  46. E.... R....

    I live in Maryville TN

  47. a.... ....

    I love this song so much, never been to Tennessee but it's definitely a place I plan to visit mostly because of the way Dolly writes about it and I'd love to see Nashville. DOLLY IS A BADASS

  48. E.... ....

    Honestly, I love the woman, but who is her man?

    E.... ....

    Her Husbands Name Is Carl.

    E.... ....

    Carl Dean

    E.... ....

    He is A home building contractor in the Nashville area.

    E.... ....

    Elster carl dean

  52. L.... c....

  53. S.... C....

    when you hear the song you can picture it in mind!

    S.... C....

    I always like to close my eyes and listen to this song. It takes me back to my home in Pigeon Forge. We lived in the mountains. I was sad to leave it when we moved here to Georgia.

    S.... C....

    I'll live there

  54. D.... ....

    I grew up in a town 4 hours away from where Dolly is from. Where another country music star was born and raised I am talking about Dottie West. I grew up on this music cause of my parent's especially Dolly. Dolly was always playing.

    T.... ....

    @w d Nudie Suits.

  70. B.... B....

    Take me on home Dolly, down those country roads to the hills of Tennessee. Thanks Porter and Dolly.

  71. A.... h....

  74. S.... O....

    I also remember the good old days. My daddy, may God bless your soul for us. Dolly, wonderful songs.

    S.... O....

    Sunday Okoosi ...same here

  75. D.... ....

    Breast Dolly song ever!

  76. S.... ....

    I never really like her wigs that much, but her old wigs from the 70s are so amazing I love them!!!!

  77. E.... A....

    This is truly country music at its finest point, she sang this with only her guitar on Carson back in 1986, and she haunted the crowd with her amazing talent.

  78. G.... ....

    Such beautiful range. Now THIS is a singer. Not these dummies on the radio today. Pure talent.

  79. A.... P....

    The lyrics are pure poetry, to mention nothing of that beautiful soaring melody in the chorus. Nobody comes close to writing music with the innocence and honesty of Dolly Parton.

  80. B.... M....

    Wow sweet sweet to remember you.

  81. s.... ....

    Dolly was the only reason I would watch the Porter Waggoner show.

  82. M.... P....

    queen of country - miss tennessee

  83. g.... ....

    True colors ...;-)))

  84. R.... T....

    Dolly you look so good in red

  85. J.... ....

    what do they say in the beginning?

  86. e.... ....

    I like the prop guitar...

  87. S.... R....

    Impresionante artista!

  88. F.... ....

    such a gorgeous voice... a real talent.... I'd probably cry if I saw her live =)

  89. P.... G....

    When was this show 1976?

    P.... G....

    Late 60's to very early 70's.
