- My Homeland Tennessee, 1925
- When It's Iris Time in Tennessee, 1935 - sung from the point of view of someone who doesn't actually live in Tennessee
- My Tennessee, 1955 - same scenario as #2
- Tennessee Waltz, 1965 - about a guy who lost his girl in Tennessee. Now you're talking. This is the best one.
- Rocky Top, 1982 - ties for best! Maybe not the best representation of Tennessee, or maybe the perfect representation of it.
- Tennessee, 1992
- The Pride of Tennessee, 1996 - only one to mention Native Americans
- A Tennessee Bicentennial Rap: 1796 - 1996. I'd call it a rhyme before I called it a rap.

Johnny Cash's "Hey Porter" really ought to be on that list.
Love the Tennessee Waltz!
"I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz when an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancing my friend stole my sweetheart from me."
