There's a cabin on a mountain far away in Tennessee
Dearest place this side of heaven and it's where I long to be
I've rambled this world over sailed upon the deep blue sea
But in a cabin on a mountain's where my heart will always be

   I said good-bye to my blue-eyed mountain sweetheart
   Dearest girl in this whole wide world to me
   Every night of her I'm dreamin'
   In a cabin on a mountain far away In Tennessee.

Now my ramblin' days are over for tonight I'm on my way
To that cabin on a mountain in Tennessee so far away
I searched this wide world over sailed upon the deep blue sea
But in a cabin with my darlin's where my heart will always be
