[Verse 1]
Cold iron shackles and ball and chain
Listen to the whistle of the evening train
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, children, 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]
Drink all day, gonna rock all night
The law come to get you if you don't walk right
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed
Then you head back
Cold iron shackles and ball and chain
Listen to the whistle of the evening train
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, children, 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]
Drink all day, gonna rock all night
The law come to get you if you don't walk right
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed
Then you head back
