CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G

Here [G] eyes was red, her name was [D7] helen

Her head looked like a water-[G] melon

Her hair was long, she had a [D7] Toni

Her neck looked like a roll of bal-[G] loney. [G7]

Her [C] teeth stuck out so fer, she [G] didn't have much sense

[A7] She could gnaw an ear of corn right [D] thru' a picket [D7] fence

Our [G] marriage license cost a [D7] quarter

On the TENNESSEE [G] BORDER. [G7]

One [C] night I took her out to [G] see what we could see

Just [A7] then I saw her husband, and he [D] stood six-foot [D7] three

He [G] had brass knuckles - [D7] all made to order

Now my teeth are scattered on the TENNESSEE [G] BORDER.

Her was red, her name was Hann-er

Her nose looked like a big banan-er

She weighs so much he had some trouble

He thought that he was seein' double.

He put his arm around her and he tried to hug her

But he couldn't get close enough

'Cause she had too much blubber

She was too fat, he couldn't court her

Now she wears a girdle 'round her TENNESSEE BORDER.

One [C] night I took her out [G] just across the line

She [A7] stubbed her toe and fell in a [D] barrel of turpen-[D7] tine

[G] "Young man", (Huh?), "young man", (Huh!),

[D7] "Where is my daughter?"

"Well, the last time I see'd her

She was tearin' across the TENNESSEE [G] BORDER."
