Tennessee Border

Porter Wayne Wagoner (August 12, 1927 – October 28, 2007) was a popular American country music singer known for his flashy Nudie and Manuel suits and blond pompadour. In 1967, he introduced a then little known Dolly Parton on his long-running television show, and they were a well-known duet throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Known as Mr. Grand Ole Opry, Wagoner charted 81 singles from 1954–1983. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »

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

[Chorus: ]
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 Tennessee 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

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
