0:21Cold iron shackles ball and chain
0:29Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train
0:36You know you bound to wind up dead
0:43If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed
0:51Rich man step on my poor head
0:58When you get back you better butter my bread
1:06Well do you know it's like I said
1:12You better head back to Tennessee Jed
1:20Tennessee Tennessee
1:23There ain't no place I'd rather be
1:27Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
1:58Drink all day and rock all night
2:05The law come to get you if you don't walk right
2:13Got a letter this morning baby all it read
2:19You better head back to Tennessee Jed
2:27I dropped four flights and cracked my spine
2:34Honey come quick with the iodine
2:43Catch a few winks baby under the bed
2:49Then you head back to Tennessee Jed
2:56Tennessee Tennessee
3:00There ain't no place I'd rather be
3:04Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
3:34I run into Charlie Fog
3:41Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog
3:49My doggie turned to me and he said
3:56Let's head back to Tennessee Jed
4:03I woke up a feelin' mean
4:10Went down to play the slot machine
4:19The wheels turned around and the letters read
4:25You better head back to Tennessee Jed
4:32Tennessee Tennessee
4:36There ain't no place I'd rather be
4:40Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
6:45Tennessee Tennessee
6:49There ain't no place I'd rather be
6:53Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
Cold iron shackles 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 Rich man step on my poor head When you get back you better butter my bread Well do you know it's like I said You better head back to Tennessee Jed Tennessee Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee Drink all day and rock all night The law come to get you if you don't 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 ain't no place I'd rather be Baby won't 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 Let's 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 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
