Lyrics

1. Bought a jigsaw puzzle today
   Just to pass the time away
   Long before I had it done
   Wasn’t I the homesick one?

Chorus
I put the green, green evergreen pines
Between a row of roses and vines
In my picture puzzle of Tennessee
I put the blue of beautiful skies
Above a road I recognize
In my picture puzzle of Tennessee
There was a white house huggin’ the shore
I coulda swore I saw it before
How I came to roam is what puzzles me
And then I saw that gray-haired lady
I’m longin’ to see
In my picture puzzle of Tennessee

2. Felt just like a kiddie again
   Seein’ scenes that I saw then
   Found the school house on the hill
   Lordy, lordy, what a thrill
