There's a dance they do down in Tennessee It's just as simple as one two three The old folks do it and the young folks too Your little brother Billy and your old Aunt Sue It's just a hillbilly rhythm with a touch of the blues It ain't nothin' but a simple little country song Keep movin' to the music and you can't go wrong Do the Tennessee two step all night long They do it down in Memphis on a Saturday night And them folks in Chattanooga think it's outta sight Down in Music City it's all the rage They do it on the Grand Old Opry stage Even heard them talkin' bout it on Crook and Chase They say it even makes the Smoky Mountains smoke Like wildfire spreadin' everywhere you go And it's a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor I said the Tennessee two step one time you're gonna holler for more You put your right foot forward and your left foot back Start a little wiggle in your sacroiliac And that's a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor From the Mississippi River to the Cumberland Gap They don't want to hear no rock any they don't want to hear no rap Tennessee people like to do it up proud They turn the lights down low the music up loud Grab yourself a partner and follow the crowd Everybody's smilin' cause they're feeling fine Get yoursell together in a big long line To a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor I said the Tennessee two step one time you're gonna holler for more You put your right foot forward... They say it even makes the Smoky Mountains smoke... You put your right foot forward... I said a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor I said do it on a hardwood floor
