Tennessee Jed

There ain't no place I'd rather be
Back to Tennessee
Well, it's like I said
Down, under the bed
There ain't no place I'd rather be
I dropped four flights
My poor head
To Tennessee Jed
Went down to play
To Tennessee Jed

You better head back
Catch a few winks
Listen to the whistle
If you don't head back
To Tennessee Jed
Blacked my eye
Back to Tennessee
Baby, rock all night
Of the evenin' train
Down, under the bed

And he said

You better butter my bread
"Let's head back
I run into
Tennessee, Tennessee
Tennessee, Tennessee
The wheels turned around
Catch a few winks
The law come to get you
But feelin' mean

Honey, come quick

Baby, won't you carry me

And cracked my spine
To Tennessee Jed
Tennessee, Tennessee
Baby, won't you carry me

Drink all day
There ain't no place I'd rather be
If you don't walk right
With the iodine
Tennessee, Tennessee
Baby, won't you carry me
And he kicked my dog
My doggie turned to me
Then we head back

Baby, won't you carry me
Bound to wind up dead
There ain't no place I'd rather be

And then we head back
I woke up
The slot machine

Baby, the letters read
Rich man step on
Back to Tennessee
When you get back
You better head back
You know you
To Tennessee Jed"
To Tennessee Jed
You know you
