Tennessee Border #2 - Ernest Tubb/Red Foley

作词：Kenneth Burns/Henry Haynes/Jimmy Work

作曲：Kenneth Burns/Henry Haynes/Jimmy Work

Here eyes was red her name was Helen

Her head looked like a water-melon

Her hair was long she had a Toni

Her neck looked like a roll of bal-loney

Her teeth stuck out so fer

She didn't have much sense

She could gnaw an ear of

Corn right thru' a picket fence

Our marriage license cost a quarter

On the TENNESSEE BORDER

One night I took her out to

See what we could see

Just then he saw her husband

And he stood six-foot three

He had brass knuckles made to order

Now my teeth are scattered

On the TENNESSEE BORDER

Her hair was red her name was Hann-er

Her nose looked like a big banan-er

She weighs so much he had some trouble

He thought that he was seein' double

He put his arm around her

And tried to hug her

But couldn't get close enough

'Cause she had too much blubber

She was too fat he couldn't court her

Now she wears a girdle

'Round her TENNESSEE BORDER

One night I took her out just across the line

She stubbed her toe and fell in a barrel of turpen-tine

The TENNESSEE BORDER
