Tennessee Will Lyrics

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
