Tennessee Jed

Rich man step on
"Let's head back
To Tennessee Jed"
Tennessee, Tennessee
And he kicked my dog

Then we head back
To Tennessee Jed
And he said
I dropped four flights
The wheels turned around
Catch a few winks

Went down to play
If you don't head back
You know you
To Tennessee Jed
Baby, rock all night
Tennessee, Tennessee
And then we head back
Bound to wind up dead
Back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee
I run into
Tennessee, Tennessee

There ain't no place I'd rather be
Down, under the bed
Catch a few winks
Baby, won't you carry me
Baby, the letters read
Baby, won't you carry me

My poor head

You know you
I woke up
Blacked my eye
But feelin' mean
Baby, won't you carry me
My doggie turned to me
When you get back
If you don't walk right

And cracked my spine
Back to Tennessee
With the iodine

To Tennessee Jed
You better head back
To Tennessee Jed
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby, won't you carry me
Of the evenin' train

The slot machine
You better head back
To Tennessee Jed
There ain't no place I'd rather be
The law come to get you
Listen to the whistle
Charlie Fog
You better butter my bread

Well, it's like I said
Tennessee, Tennessee
Honey, come quick
There ain't no place I'd rather be

Down, under the bed
Drink all day
