Gillian Welch - Tennessee lyrics
Your rating:
I kissed you cause i’ve never been and angel I learned to say hosannas on my knees But they threw me out of Sunday school when i was nine And the sisters said i did just as i pleased Now even so i tried to be a good girl its only what i want that makes me weep i had no desire to be a child of sin but then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek Fie le lie lie fie le lie lee Now let me go my honey-o back to Tennessee It’s beefsteak when i’m workin Whiskey when i’m dry Sweet heaven when i die Dancing with damnation is a ball But of all the little ways i found to hurt myself Well you might be my favorite one of all Why can’t i go and live the life awryly Why can’t i go back home to apple pie There’s no affront a-to my virtue Was a touch too much But you left a little twinkle in my eye Now some’ll come confessing of transgressions Some they come confessing of their love You were there strumming on your gay guitar And you were trying to tell me something with your thumb
