While Lubor Hejda claims to have written this Czech-texted song, others have taken and adapted it. Lee found several differing Czech versions that he used as the basis for his translation of the text into English. While the texts vary (some including a love story, etc.) they all contain a romanticized portrait in which bluegrass music emerges from and shapes the landscape and people of an imagined Tennessee. Listen to the English version for a fairly literal translation of this Czech text.
