I bought a little cabin
In East Tennessee
A little hide-a-way for my baby and me
I won´t have to work too hard
She´ll pretty up the front yard
All I gotta do is give it a new tin roof
And every night
We´re gonna snugle down tight
Far away from these city lights

Under my new tin roof
In a big brass bed
Gonna listen to the raindrops
Beatin´ overhead
Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat
Baby´s gonna love that
And I´m gonna love her too
Under my new tin roof

I haven´t given her roses since ´83
I didn´t give her no diamond rings
When she married me
Gonna make it up to her
And give her something that shines
On a moonlit night it´s gonna light up the sky
And when I whisper I love her
She´ll hear the music above her

Under my new tin roof
In a big brass bed
Gonna listen to the raindrops
Beatin´ overhead
Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat
Baby´s gonna love that
And I´m gonna love her too
Under my new tin roof

Under my new tin roof
In a big brass bed
Gonna listen to the raindrops
Beatin´ overhead
Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat
Baby´s gonna love that
And I´m gonna love her too
Under my new tin roof

Under my new tin roof
In a big brass bed
Gonna listen to the raindrops
Beatin´ overhead
Singing rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat
Baby´s gonna love that
And I´m gonna love her too
Under my new tin roof
