Bob Ferguson - My Tennessee Mountain Home lyrics

[Verse 1] Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straight back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall Watch the kids a playing with June bugs on a string And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall [Chorus] In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home The crickets sing in the fields nearby [Verse 2] Honeys**le 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] In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields nearby [Verse 3] Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love Just laughing, talking, making future plans And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two Sitting in the porch swing, holding hands [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 nearby (Hummed and whistled outro]
