[Verse 1]
                                 A7
Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn
                            D
Her smile was like an angel dear
                         A7
She was her daddy's only daughter
                 D
On the Tennessee border 

[Chorus]
    G                    D
One night I took a ride, just across the line
       E7                                      A7
Well I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
    D               A7
Her mama said: "No, she's my only daughter"
                           A         D
But we got married, on the Tennessee border

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
                               A7
The roses were bloomin' on the border
                       D
The moon was bright up there
                        A7
Her personality made me want her
                 D
On the Tennessee border

[Chorus]
    G                    D
One night I took a ride, just across the line
       E7                                      A7
Well I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine
        D               A7
But her mama said: "No, she's my only daughter"
                                     D
But we got married, on the Tennessee border
