Lyrics

I got a little farm and it's mostly rock it ain't too much but it's all I got
Bluebirds singing in the evergreen trees in watertown tennessee
Hey watertown tennessee
People in watertown will never do die when they reach a hundred they can truly fly
Sail into heaven on a southerly breeze in watertown tennessee
Hey watertown tennessee
[ mandolin ]
I had me an outhouse down by the creek prettiest outhouse you ever did see
Flood came along now I'm up the creek in watertown tennessee
Hey watertown tennessee
Well a big old redhawk circling around looking for a chicken down here on the ground
Sometimes he gets as high as me in watertown tennessee
Hey watertown tennessee
[ slide guitar ]
When I get to heaven if I ever do die I'm a gonna cut me a hole in the sky
Sittin' in a mansion and all I'll see is watertown tennessee
Hey watertown tennessee
Now if you want to be famous and you want to be rich
People in watertown taught me a trick
I'm gonna tell it if I stay around long whups that's the end of this song
Called watertown tennessee
