When It's Iris Time In Tennessee lyrics

Sweetness of Spring memories bring

Of a place I long to be.

Land of Sunshine calls this old hear of mine,

Come back to Tennessee.

Rocks and the rills deep tinted hills,

Three's no spot so dear to me.

Where'er I roam still it's my Home Sweet Home,

My own, my Tennessee.

When it's Iris time down in Tennessee,

I'll be coming back to stay

Where the mockingbird sings at the break of day

A lilting love song gay.

Where the Iris grows,

Where the Harpeth flows,

That is where I long to be.

There's a picture there that lives in memory

When it's Iris time in Tennessee.
