When I was in Missouri would not let me be
When I was in Missouri would not let me be
Wouldn't rest content till I came to Tennessee
If you follow me baby, I'll turn your money green
If you follow me baby, I'll turn your money green
I show you more money Rockefeller ever seen
If the river was whiskey baby and I was a duck
River was whiskey baby and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up
Woman I hate, I see her every day
Woman I hate, I see her every day
But the woman I love she's so far 'way
Talk about sweetheart, I declare I'm a honest man
Talk about sweetheart, I declare I'm-a honest man
Give my woman so many dollars it broke her apron string
All she give me was trouble, trouble all the time
All she give me was trouble, trouble all the time
I been troubled so long trouble don't worry my mind
I been down so long ‘cause it seem like up to me
I been down so long, seem like up to me
Woman, I love hard like a rock in the sea
