Goodbye Tennessee

Way down south in Tennessee where corn is the crop.

Ten gallons to the acre that's the best I ever got.

But I made me a little brew in my old shack.

That nosey sheriff saw the smoke a boilin' out the back.

Chorus:

Goodbye Tennessee so long Tennessee.

Things were gettin mighty hot when I left Tennessee.

Goodbye Tennessee my home Tennessee.

I'll go back when things cool off down in Tennessee.

I'm a ridge running barefoot boy a home grown country lad.

Flour sack shirts and overalls is all I ever had.

But I went to a fancy store and I bought a sunday suit.

Then swapped it for a jug of corn and I drawed a hound to boot.

Chorus:

Now I built me a fancy house with a fireplace and a den.

A picture window with no glass and a hound dog lookin in.

My wife had me throwed in jail because I burnt it down.

But I refuse to hang my hat where I can't keep my hound.

Chorus:
