Lewis
I was in Missouri, would not let me be
Yeah, I was in Missouri, babe would not let me be
Now I couldn't rest contented 'til I come to Tennessee.
I been down so long looks like up to me
I been down so long looks like up to me
You know the girl I love ......................
If you follow me baby I'll turn your money green, (2x)
I'll show you more money Rockefeller ever seen
Talk about sweetheart and I 'clare I'm a honest man (2x)
Now I give my baby money, broke her apron strings.
I would holler "Murder" but the town's too small
You know the girl I love .....................
Woman quit me, throwed my trunk outdoors.
Woman I love, heart like a rock in the sea.
If you follow me baby I'll turn your money green, (2x)
I'll show you more money Rockefeller ever seen
If the river was whiskey baby 'n I was a duck (2x)
I'd dive to the bottom and I never would come up
Woman I hate I see her every day (2x)
But the woman I love she's so far away.
All she give me was trouble, trouble all the time (2x)
I been troubled so long, trouble don't worry my mind
I been down so long 'til it seem like up to me (2x)
Woman I love, heart like a rock in the sea.
