Tennessee Jed - Live at Northrop Auditorium, Minneapolis (Live Broadcast)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cold iron shackles, ball and chain Listen to the whistle of the passing train You know you bound to wind up dead If you don't head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 2] Rich man step on my poor head When you get back, you better butter my bread Well, you know it's like I said You better head back to Tennessee, Jed [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me? Back to Tennessee [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Drink all day, rock all night Law come to get you if you don't walk right Catch a few winks down under thе bed Then head back to Tеnnessee, Jed [Verse 4] I dropped four flights and cracked my spine Honey, come quick with the iodine Got a letter this morning and all that it read: "Better head back to Tennessee, Jed" [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me? Back to Tennessee [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 5] I run into Charlie Phogg He blacked my eye and he kicked my dog My dog, he turned to me and he said: "Let's go back to Tennessee, Jed" [Verse 6] I woke up a-feeling mean Went down, played the slot machine The wheels turned 'round, the letters read: "Better head back to Tennessee, Jed" [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me? Back to Tennessee [Instrumental Bridge] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me? Back to Tennessee
