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
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...
