|
I kissed you 'cause |
|
I've never been an angel |
|
I learned to say hosannas on my knees |
|
But they threw me out of |
|
Sunday school when |
|
I was nine |
|
And the sisters said |
|
I did just as |
|
I pleasedNow even so |
|
I try to be a good girl |
|
It's only what |
|
I want that makes me weak |
|
I had no desire to be a child of sin |
|
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek |
|
Fi la lie lie |
|
Fi la lie lee |
|
Now let me go, my honey oh... |
|
Back to Tennessee |
|
It's beef steak when |
|
I'm workin' |
|
Whiskey when |
|
I'm dryAnd sweet |
|
Heaven when |
|
I dieNow I've tried drinking rye and gamblin' |
|
Dancing with damnation is a ball |
|
But of all the little ways |
|
I've found to hurt myself |
|
Well, you might be my favorite one of all |
|
Fi la lie lie |
|
Fi la lie lee |
|
Now let me go, my honey oh... |
|
Back to Tennessee |
|
It's beef steak when |
|
I'm workin' |
|
Whiskey when |
|
I'm dryAnd sweet |
|
Heaven when |
|
I dieWhy can't |
|
I go and live the |
|
Life of Riley? |
|
Why can't |
|
I go back home to apple pie?' |
|
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much |
|
But you left a little twinkle in my eye |
|
Fi la lie lie |
|
Fi la lie lee |
|
Now let me go, my honey oh... |
|
Back to Tennessee |
|
It's beef steak when |
|
I'm workin' |
|
Whiskey when |
|
I'm dryAnd sweet |
|
Heaven when |
|
I dieNow some will come confessin' of transgressions |
|
Some will come confessin' of their love |
|
You were there strumming on your gay guitar |
|
You were tryin' to tell me something with your thumb |
|
Fi la lie lie |
|
Fi la lie lee |
|
Now let me go, my honey oh... |
|
Back to Tennessee |
|
It's beef steak when |
|
