 Written by Vivian Rorie  I do not know of another state Where I had rather be Than this great state I'm living in And that is Tennessee.  I love the stars dearly And there are surely three That show the Grand Division Of my home-land, Tennessee.  Where could you find a meadow With grass so vividly green? Where could you find the mountains With such majestic scene?  You will never find so bright a moon To shine down from above You will also see the robin The wren, and the turtle dove.  And don't forget the rivers Where visitors long to stay. And many have voice in parting, 'I'm sure glad I passed this way.'  You will see the cattle grazing Beside a cotton field; And there's the Grand Ole Opry And a feeling it's all God's will.
