I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
You know she always talked pretty well of me
She said that the wedding went fine
You were up in New York on your honeymoon
Tonight I'm down ___ in Tennessee
I got that letter you wrote it tore me up
But I don't have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while, but like everything else
I messed it up
Tonight I'm down ____ in Tennessee
It's blue tonight ___ and getting bluer
Girl I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see
Things ever looking up for me
I'm so down in Tennessee
I hope your happy with him he's a lucky man
And I hope he gives you that home an family
I just wanna say if by chance
You are ever this way look me up
I'll be down ____ in Tennessee
repeat chorus:
