I TALKED TO 
YOUR SISTER 
LAST NIGHT 

ON THE TELEPHONE 
YOU KNOW SHE ALWAYS 
THOUGHT PRETTY WELL 
OF ME 

SHE SAID THAT 
THE WEDDIN' WENT FINE 
AND YOU WERE UP 
IN NEW YORK 

ON YOUR HONEYMOON 
TONIGHT I'M DOWN 
IN TENNESSEE 
I GOT THAT LETTER 

THAT YOU WROTE 
IT TORE ME UP 
BUT I DON'T HAVE 
ANYONE 

TO BLAME BUT ME 
I HAD IT ALL FOR AWHILE 
BUT LIKE 
EVERYTHING ELSE 

I MESSED IT UP 
TONIGHT I'M DOWN 
IN TENNESSEE 
IT'S BLUE TONIGHT 

AND GETTIN' BLUER 
BUT I'M IN THE STATE 
THAT I DESERVE TO BE 
WITHOUT YOU 

I JUST CAN'T SEE 
THINGS EVER LOOKING 
UP FOR ME 
I'M SO DOWN 

IN TENNESSEE 

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY 
WITH HIM 

HE'S A LUCKY MAN 
I HOPE HE GIVES YOU 
THAT HOME AND FAMILY 
I JUST WANT TO SAY 

IF BY CHANCE 
YOU ARE EVER THIS WAY 
LOOK ME UP 
I'LL BE DOWN 

IN TENNESSEE 
IT'S BLUE TONIGHT 
AND GETTIN' BLUER 
BUT I'M IN THE STATE 

THAT I DESERVE TO BE 
WITHOUT YOU 
I JUST CAN'T SEE 
THINGS EVER LOOKING 

UP FOR ME 
I'M SO DOWN 
IN TENNESSEE 
I'M SO DOWN 

IN TENNESSE YEAH 
I'M GONNA BE DOWN 
IN TENNESSEE
