[Intro]
If I were born to be a river
If a river is all I'd be
I'd tell the giver of all of the rivers
To make me the Tennessee
[Verse 1]
How many drops of rain roll
Off of how many windowpanes
Down to a valley low
Where a river like me begins to grow
I sing a mournful song
As I rush and ramble along
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee-oh
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
[Verse 2]
I bury secrets deep
I keep them down where the catfish creep
Where the rolling tide
Can't reach the things that I hide
I hum a mournful tune
In the Alabama June
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
If I were born to be a river
If a river is all I'd be
I'd tell the giver of all of the rivers
To make me the Tennessee
[Verse 1]
How many drops of rain roll
Off of how many windowpanes
Down to a valley low
Where a river like me begins to grow
I sing a mournful song
As I rush and ramble along
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee-oh
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
[Verse 2]
I bury secrets deep
I keep them down where the catfish creep
Where the rolling tide
Can't reach the things that I hide
I hum a mournful tune
In the Alabama June
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee
Oh dee-oh-dee-oh-dee, oh
