Tennessee Jed(Live at Rheinhalle， Dusseldorf 4/24/72) - Grateful Dead

Cold iron shackles ball and chain
Listen to the whistle of the evening train
You know you bound to wind up dead
If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed
Rich man step on my poor head
When you get back you better butter my bread
Well do you know it's like I said
You better head back to Tennessee Jed
Tennessee Tennessee there ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
I woke up a feeling mean
Went down to play the slot machine
The wheels turned around and the letters read
You better head back to Tennessee Jed
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine
Honey come quick with the iodine
Catch a few winks baby under the bed
Then you head back to Tennessee Jed
Tennessee Tennessee there ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
I run into Charlie Fog
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog
My doggie turned to me and he said
Let's head back to Tennessee Jed
Drink all day and rock all night
The law come to get you if you don't walk right
Catch a few winks baby under the bed
Then you head back to Tennessee Jed
Tennessee Tennessee there ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
Tennessee Tennessee there ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
