Tennessee State Song

My Homeland, Tennessee
words by Nell Grayson Taylor, music by Roy Lamont Smith.

   O Tennessee, that gave us birth,
   To thee our hearts bow down.
   For thee our love and loyalty
   Shall weave a fadeless crown.
   Thy purple hills our cradle was;
   Thy fields our mother breast
   Beneath thy sunny bended skies,
   Our childhood days were blessed.

   Chorus:
   O Tennesss: Fair Tennessee:
   Our love for thee can never die:
   Dear homeland, Tennessee.

   'Twas long ago our fathers came,
   A free and noble band,
   Across the mountain's frowning heights
   To seek a promised land.
   And here before their raptured eyes;
   In beauteous majesty:
   Outspread the smiling valleys
   Of the winding Tennesee.

   Could we forget our heritage
   Of heroes strong and brave?
   Could we do aught but cherish it,
   Unsullied to the grave?
   Ah no! the State where Jackson slepps,
   Shall ever peerless be.
   We glory in thy majesty;
   Our homeland, Tennessee.

An Official Tennessee Song, "My Homeland, Tennesssee", words by Nell Grayson Taylor, music by Roy Lamont Smith, was adopted in 1935.
