Font:      
Align:    
  • Cold iron shackles, ball and chain,
  • Listen to the whistle of the evenin train.
  • You know you bound to wind up dead,
  • If you dont head back to tennessee jed.
  • Rich man step on my poor head,
  • When you get back you better butter my bread.
  • Well, do you know its like I said,
  • You better head back to tennessee jed.
  • Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
  • Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.
  • Drink all day and rock all night,
  • The law come to get you if you dont walk right
  • Got a letter this morning, baby all it read,
  • You better head back to tennessee jed.
  • I dropped four flights and cracked my spine,
  • Honey, come quick with the iodine,
  • Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed
  • Then you head back to tennessee jed.
  • Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
  • Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.
  • I run into charlie fog,
  • Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog,
  • My doggie turned to me and he said,
  • Lets head back to tennessee jed.
  • I woke up a feelin mean,
  • Went down to play the slot machine,
  • The wheels turned around, and the letters read,
  • You better head back to tennessee jed.
  • Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
  • Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.
