Oh, I went down to Tennessee Yes, I went down to Tennessee What did I see in Tennessee? I saw a place where dancers meet I swear I saw the dancingest feet You never heard a wilder beat They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll The caller called: "Let's promenade!" The fiddling man looked gone as he played The old square dance had been remade They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Then all at once, before I knew I joined in with the Hullaballoo I dug the beat and did it too I was doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll I was doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Come on let's all do the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Come on let's all do the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
