Cold iron shackles
ball and chain
Listen to the whistle
of the evenin' train.
You know you bound
to wind up dead,
If you don't head back
to Tennessee Jed
Rich man step
on my poor head
When you get back
you better butter my bread
Well, do you know
it's like I said
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.
Drink all day
and rock all night
The law come to get you
if you don't walk right
Got a letter this morning
baby all it read
You better head back
to Tennessee Jed
I dropped four flights
and cracked my spine
Honey, come quick
with the iodine
Catch a few winks, baby
under the bed
Then you 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
I run into Charlie Fog
Blacked my eye and
he kicked my dog
My doggie turned
to me and he said
Let's head back
to Tennessee Jed
I woke up a felin' mean
Went down to play
the slot machine
The wheels turned around
and the letters read
You better head back
to Tennessee Jed
