Tennessee

from Open Windows by Where's Alice

lyrics

I went to Tenesse with a washboard
I went to Tenessee with my guitar
I went to Tennessee for a woman, lord
She left me right where you are

I met her down in Memphis
At a whiskey bar
She took me back to her house, lord
When I told her I played guitar

We sat out on her porch
She gave me a beer
She said she was getting chilly, lord
And asked, why don’t you come here?

When I went in I noticed something
It struck me pretty queer
She made me swear on the bible, my lord
That I would always be there.

I fell for her pretty hard
And I thought that she liked me too,
But she was a catholic girl- my lord!
From that old catholic school.

She said well you know that I like you
And yeah we’ve had some fun.
But I love Jesus more, my lord
So it looks like we’re done.

So if you’re in Tennessee
Maybe you should knock on
The door of my catholic girl, my lord
And maybe play her this song.
