Tennessee Will

Blind man on an old upright piano

Lady in red on a banjolin

Playing songs like Oh Suzanna

Getting slower with each gin

Catch a ride on a steamboat baby

Make it home with time to kill

If the Mississippi River don't carry me to her

I know that the Tennessee will

I never did believe that Memphis

Really was the end of the line

So, I'm going back to Alabama

Where my heart's been all the time

And I know it should be easy

But, it's hard to say goodbye

I got to catch a ride on a steamboat baby

Make it home with time to kill

If the Mississippi River don't carry me to her

I know that the Tennessee will

And I know it should be easy

But, it's hard to say goodbye

So, I catch a ride on a steamboat baby

Make it home with time to kill

If the Mississippi River don't carry me to her

I know that the, I know that the Tennessee will

Catch a ride on a steamboat baby

Make it home with time to kill

If the Mississippi River don't carry me to her

I know that the, That the Tennessee will

I know that the Tennessee will
