Tennessee Songbird

The beckoning of a front porch swing

The morning breeze blowin' through the screen

Quiet as a mouse you don't hear a thing

'Til the Tennessee songbird starts to sing

Perched on a post or in a tree

Mockingbird observes the scene

Deep inside she's moved to see

Wants to say out loud she's alive and free

Yodelayhee

Yodelayhee-he-he

Make the hills ring

There ain't nothing like rockin' while the mockingbirds sing

(instrumental break)

The Tennessee songbird longs to sing

Yodelayhee-he-he

Her sweet melody

Whether we listen or not the songbird sings

Whether we listen or not the songbird sings

Whether we listen or not
