Tennessee Border No. 2 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Her [C]eye[G] s [C]was red,
her name was [G]Helen.
Her head looked like a [C]watermelon.
Her hair was long, she [G]had a tony.
Her neck looked like a roll of balo[C]ney.
Her [F]teeth stuck out so firm
she didn't [C]have much sense
She could [D]gnaw an ear of corn
right [G]through a picket fence
Her [C]marriage license cost a [G]quarter
[Bdim]On the T[G]ennessee
bor[C]der[G]
[C][G]
[C]
One [F]night I took her out
to [C]see what we could see
Just [D]then he saw her husband
and he stood [G]six [C]foot three
He had brass knuckles made to [G]or der
Now my teeth are scattered
on the Tennessee [C]bor[G]der[C]
Her hair was red, her name was [G]Hannah
Her nose looked like a big ba[C]nana
She weighed so much he had some [G]trouble
He thought that he was seeing [C]double
He [F]put his arm around her
and [C]he tried to hug her
But he [D]couldn't get close enough
cause [G]she had too much [C]blubber
She was too fat he couldn't [G]court her
Now she wears a girdle
round her Tennessee [C]bor[G]der
[C]One[F] night I took her out,
[C]just across the line
She [D]stumped her toe
and fell in a [G]bale of turd and tine
[C]Hey, Earlies
Yeah, Red
What in the world ever happened
[G]to that old man's daughter?
Well, the last time I saw her,
Red, she was head bald
[C]The [D]Ten[G]nessee [C]Pardons!
