| [00:30.91] |
new york city ain't no kind of place |
| [00:33.34] |
for a country girl with a friendly face |
| [00:36.15] |
if you smile people look at you funny |
| [00:38.54] |
they take it wrong |
| [00:42.18] |
the greenest state in the land of the free |
| [00:44.86] |
and the home of the grand ole opry |
| [00:47.83] |
is calling me back to my smoky mountain home |
| [00:53.81] |
i wish i had my old fishin' pole |
| [00:56.59] |
and was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole |
| [00:59.47] |
eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite |
| [01:05.28] |
life ain't as simple as it used to be |
| [01:07.90] |
since the big apple took a bite out of me |
| [01:10.98] |
and lord, i'm so tennessee homesick that i could die |
| [01:16.27] |
{chorus:} |
| [01:16.93] |
but i ain't been home in i don't know when |
| [01:19.47] |
if i had it all to do over again |
| [01:22.63] |
tonight i'd sleep in my old feather bed |
| [01:28.43] |
what i wouldn't give for a little bitty taste |
| [01:31.55] |
of mama's homemade chocolate cake |
| [01:34.55] |
tennessee homesick blues running through my head |
| [01:53.51] |
mama you can fluff my feather bed |
| [01:56.16] |
just as soon as i can i'm gonna head |
| [01:59.07] |
back to the tennessee hills and it better be soon |
| [02:05.07] |
daddy you can load the rifles up |
| [02:07.67] |
we're gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck |
| [02:10.58] |
and take off to calhoun country and catch us a coon |
| [02:15.96] |
{chorus:} |
| [02:16.59] |
but i ain't been home in i don't know when |
| [02:19.21] |
if i had it all to do over again |
| [02:22.29] |
tonight i'd sleep in my old feather bed |
| [02:27.75] |
{repeat chorus} |
| [02:28.27] |
eatin' grits and gravy and country ham |
| [02:30.71] |
go to church on sunday with dinner on the grounds |
| [02:33.75] |
tennessee homesick blues are runnin' through my head |
| [02:39.15] |
{chorus:} |
| [02:39.63] |
but i ain't been home in i don't know when |
| [02:42.32] |
if i had it all to do over again |
| [02:45.48] |
tonight i'd sleep in my old feather bed |
| [02:50.57] |
{repeat chorus} |
| [02:51.81] |
good lord have mercy on a country girl |
| [02:54.11] |
tryin' to make a living in a rhinestone world |
| [02:56.79] |
it's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world |
| [03:00.78] |
with tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head |
| [03:05.29] |
i've got those tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head |
| [03:11.05] |
tennessee homesick blues |
