Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog. You know you bound to wind up dead Got a letter this mornin', baby and all it read: My doggie turned to me and he said. if you don't head back to Tennessee Jed. "You better head back to Tennessee Jed." "Let's head back to Tennesse Jed." Rich man step on my poor head. I dropped four flights and cracked my spine. I woke up feelin' mean.

The wheels turned around and the letters read, you better head back to Tennessee Jed. Then you head back to Tennessee Jed. "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.
