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 mornin', baby and 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 ... CHORUS
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 Tennesse Jed"
I woke up feelin' mean
I went down to play the slot machine
The wheels turned around and the letters read
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed"... CHORUS
