Tennessee Homesick Blues

 New york city ain't no kind of place
 For a country girl with a friendly face
 If you smile people look at you funny
 They take it wrong
 The greenest state in the land of the free
 And the home of the grand ole opry
 Is calling me back to my smoky mountain home
 I wish I had my old fishin' pole
 And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole
 Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite
 Life ain't as simple as it used to be
 Since the big apple took a bite out of me
 And lord, I'm so tennessee homesick that I could die
 But I ain't been home in I don't know when
 If I had it all to do over again
 Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed
 What I wouldn't give for a little bitty taste
 Of mama's homemade chocolate cake
 Tennessee homesick blues running through my head
 Da de de da de da de da di de
 Da de de da de da de da di de
 Mama you can fluff my feather bed
 Just as soon as I can I'm gonna head
 Back to the tennessee hills and it better be soon
 Daddy you can load the rifles up
 We're gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck
 And take off to calhoun country and catch us a coon
 But I ain't been home in I don't know when
 If I had it all to do over again
 Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed
 Eatin' grits and gravy and country ham
 Go to church on sunday with dinner on the grounds
 Tennessee homesick blues are runnin' through my head
 But I ain't been home in I don't know when
 If I had it all to do over again
 Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed
 Good lord have mercy on a country girl
 Tryin' to make a living in a rhinestone world
 It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
 With tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head
 I've got those tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head
 Tennessee homesick blues
