"Tennessee Homesick Blues" Lyrics:

New York City ain't no kinda place for a country girl with a friendly face

If you smile, people look at you funny, they take you wrong

The greenest state in the land of the free

And the home of the Grand Ole' Opry is calling me back to my Smokey Mountain home

I wish I had my ol' fishin' pole, and a-sittin' on the banks of the fishin' hole

Eatin' green apples and waitin' for the fish to bite

Life ain't as simple as it used to be, since the big apple took a bite outa 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 is runnin' through my head

Mama you can float my feather bed

Just as soon as I can I'm a 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 my pickup truck

And head out to Calhoon County 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 ground

Tennessee homesick blues is runnin' through my head

And 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 livin' in a rhinestone world

It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world

Tennessee homesick blues is runnin' through my head.

I've got those Tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head

Tennessee homesick blues
