I found a rare treasure in the hills of Tennessee
A diamond in the rough but she's perfect for me
A pearl of great price, a rare and precious find
She needs a lot of polish but for me she'll shine
I call her ruby 'cause she's a precious jewel
A little naive but she's nobody's fool
Her eyes like sapphires, so brightly they shine
My Tennessee treasure brings heaven to mind
Her hair is so silky with the shine of finest gold
Her pearly white ivory makes me lose self control
Her ruby red lips are an angels design
She needs a lot of lovin', that suits me just fine
