Special Consensus - She Took the Tennessee River lyrics
[Special Consensus - She Took the Tennessee River lyrics]
Well I lost my heart in Knoxville
Town to a no-good river rat
Found out pretty early on she
Was never where she's at
Well the good times rolled 'til the day
I told her I was wantin' more
Come to find oh she's the kind
That won't tie to the shore
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch thе Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
Hеard she was seen in a honkytonk
Right about the Georgia line
So I laid out on the southern route
But couldn't get there in time
Talked to a man in Alabam
He gave me a little hope
He said, "I know the one, but I'm sorry
Son you just missed the boat"
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch the Mississippi
And then ride it down to New Orleans
Now I made it to Kentucky
Boys I feel like I could die
As from where I stand
I can see her hand wavin' me goodbye
She's on the deck of a big sternwheeler
Stacks are blowin' coal
I won't give in if I have to
Swim to the Gulf of Mexico
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch the Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
To catch the Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
Town to a no-good river rat
Found out pretty early on she
Was never where she's at
Well the good times rolled 'til the day
I told her I was wantin' more
Come to find oh she's the kind
That won't tie to the shore
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch thе Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
Hеard she was seen in a honkytonk
Right about the Georgia line
So I laid out on the southern route
But couldn't get there in time
Talked to a man in Alabam
He gave me a little hope
He said, "I know the one, but I'm sorry
Son you just missed the boat"
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch the Mississippi
And then ride it down to New Orleans
Now I made it to Kentucky
Boys I feel like I could die

She's on the deck of a big sternwheeler
Stacks are blowin' coal
I won't give in if I have to
Swim to the Gulf of Mexico

She took the Tennessee River
She took the Tennessee River (And down)
Down to Chattanooga (And around)
On and to Paducah ()
Then the Ohio through to
Catch the Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
To catch the Mississippi
And ride it down to New Orleans
