Tennessee Jed (Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London, April 8, 1972)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cold iron shackles, ball and chain Listen to the whistle of the evening train Know you are 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 Break] [Verse 3] Dropped four flights and crackеd my spine Honey, come quick with thе iodine You know you are bound to wind up dead If you don't head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 4] Drink all day and rock all night The law come to get you if you don't walk right Catch a few winks, baby, down under the bed Then you 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 Break] [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 head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 6] I woke up feeling mean I went down to play the slot machines The wheels turned around and the letters read: 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 Break] [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me Back to Tennessee
