Just Try And Picture Me Back Home In Tennessee
Composer(s): William Jerome; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Johnny Maddox



I'm so happy, oh, so happy, don't you envy me? 
I leave today at three for sunny Tennessee 
dad and mother, sis' and brother, waiting for me there 
and at the table, next to Mable, there's an extra chair

At the station my relations all will be on hand with a hometown band
the best band in the land 
Hezekiah and Maria they'll hand me alaugh
and my old dad will be so glad, he'll kill the fatted calf

Back home in Tennesse just try to picture me right on my mother's knee
she thinks the world of me
all I can think of tonight is a field of snowy white
banjos ringing, darkies singing, all this world seems bright
The roses round the door make me love mother more 
I'll see my sweetheart Flo and friends I used to know
Why, they'll be right there to meet me
Just imagine how they'll greet me when I get back
when I get back to my home in Tennessee
