I've got me a woman, she's a pretty good woman at that We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat She calls me Tex and makes me wear a cowboy hat But I don't care 'cause she's a pretty good woman at that I like nothin' better than to spend my nights at home I listen to my baby playing her slide trombone She talks in tongues and boy that turns me on With a woman like that a man need never roam And some folks get themselves to Heaven
Some folks stay in Tennessee I don't care where I'm headed Just as long as that woman stays with me Nothin' in the world make me treat my woman mean She trims my beard, she keeps my tractor clean She cooks my food, she brings me turnip greens Yeah, I know she's the best little woman I've seen Some folks get themselves to Heaven Some folks stay in Tennessee I don't care where I'm headed, no Just as long as that woman stays with me
