Tennessee Owns My Soul |
Talk about troubles, I tell you I got 'em shovellin' sand on the Mississipi |
bottom |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
I killed me a man in Shelby County, they turned me in for the government bounty |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
Tennessee owns my soul, that little Georgia gal just wouldn’t listen |
She tried to run away with Stoney Lee I caught him and I put him six feet under |
I wonder if he misses me? |
Tennessee owns my soul |
Rottin' in a cell I try to forget her, wishin' like hell I’d never ever met her |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she’s drivin' me crazy |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
Tennessee owns my soul, if I can get as far as Lookout Mountain |
Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl I killed another man for |
Even then I know I won’t be free, Tennessee owns my soul |
I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard — I’m hit, |
and I think I’m gonna fall |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
Laying on a broken back and cryin', everything’s goin' black and I’m dyin' |
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah Tennessee owns my soul, Tennessee owns my soul |
