Tennessee Jed

Cold iron shackles and ball and chain

Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train

You know you bound to wind up dead

If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed

A rich man step on my poor head

When you get back you better butter my bread

Well, you know that it's just like I said

You better hurry on back to Tennessee Jed

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee?

Drank all day and rock all night

A law come to get you if you don't walk right

Got a letter this morning baby, you know what it read

You better hurry on back to Tennessee Jed

I dropped four flights and cracked my spine

Honey, come quick bring the iodine

Gonna catch a few winks baby, hop onto that bed

Then I head on back to Tennessee Jed

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee?

I run into old Charlie Fog

But he blackened my eye and he kicked my dog

My dog turned to me and he said

Let's head on back to Tennessee Jed

I woke up next morning, I was feelin' mean

I went down to play on the slot machine

The wheels they turned around and the letters read

You better hurry on back to Tennessee Jed

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee?

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee?

Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee?
