High on a Hill Songtext
von The Lonesome Drifters

I was born on a sunny day on a hill in Tennessee
Where the tall grass grows beneath the tall oak trees
The rivers all run free

I left my home to find a way to pay my cutie goodbye
I′m so sick for my Southern home
And I feel like I could die

High on a hill down in Tennessee
That's where I′m gonna be
With my baby sittin' next to me
High on a hill down in Tennessee

So I'm gonna catch the first black flyer I see headin′ south
When I reach the Mason Dixon line I′ll feel more like myself

I can't wait to see my momma′s face when I walk that last mile
I may just up and run to see my baby's smile


High on a hill down in Tennessee
That′s where I'm gonna be
With my baby sittin′ next to me
High on a hill down in Tennessee

I was born on a sunny day on a hill in Tennessee
Where the tall grass grows beneath the tall oak trees
And the rivers all run free

I left my home to find a way to pay my cutie goodbye
I'm so sick for my Southern home
And I feel like I could die

High on a hill out in Tennessee
That's where I′m gonna be
With my baby sittin′ next to me
High on a hill out in Tennessee
A-high on a hill out in Tennessee
