"My Tennesse Mountain Home" is a song written by Dolly Parton. Using imagery from her rural childhood in Tennessee (holding hands on a porch swing, enjoying nature, walking home from church), the song served as the centerpiece of her 1973 concept album My Tennessee Mountain Home. It was released as a single in early 1973, and reached #15 on the U.S. country singles chart.[citation needed] The song has become one of Parton's most well known compositions,[citation needed] and was later covered by Maria Muldaur in 1975, and by Elisabeth Andreassen on the 2005 album Short Stories. Dolly Parton herself rerecorded the song on her live Heartsongs album in 1994.
A recording by Lasse Stefanz with a children's choir, with lyric in Swedish by the pseudonym "Mackan", was named "Ett bättre liv" and recorded on the 1986 album Den lilla klockan.
