Well, my home in texas, here i am in tennessee
Well, my home in texas, lord, here i am in tennessee
Well, you know, i'm so worried and lonesome, because she won't write to me
Telephone me, telephone me, sweetheart, telephone me everyday
Telephone me, telephone me, sweetheart, telephone me everyday
Well, you know, i'm workin' in this town for you lil' woman,
A whoa, you know, i'm sendin' you all my pay
Well, my home in texas, tennessee's no place for me
Well, my home in texas, tennessee's no place for me
Well, you know, i'll soon be with you darlin', a whoa, please, honey, wait and see
My telephone won't ring, the mailman won't leave me no mail
My telephone won't ring, the mailman won't leave me no mail
Well, i say if i catch you cheatin' on me darlin', a whoa, you know, i'm goin' to the county jail
