Capo 4 Sittin on the front porch On a summer afternoon In a straightback chair on two legs Leaned against the wall Watch the kids a playin   With June bugs on a string And chase the glowin fire flies when evenin shadows fall In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Honeysuckle vine clings To the fence along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop An eagle spreads its wings And a songbird on a fence post Sings a melody In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Walkin home from church on Sunday With the one ya love Just laughin talkin Makin future plans And when the folks ain’t lookin You might steal a kiss or two Sittin in the porch swing holdin hands In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by
