Her eyes were blue her hair was auburn
Her smile was like an angel dear
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 mother said no she's my only daughter
But we got married on the Tennesse border
[ steel - organ - guitar - steel ]
The roses were blooming on the border
The moon was shining from above
I fell in love the night I saw her
On the Tennessee border
One night I took a ride just across the line...
[ accordion ]
One night I took a ride just across the line...
