I kissed you 'cause I've never been an angel I learned to say hosannas on my knees But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine And the sisters said I did just as I pleasedNow even so I try to be a good girl It's only what I want that makes me weak I had no desire to be a child of sin Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek Fi la lie lie Fi la lie lee Now let me go, my honey oh... Back to Tennessee It's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm dryAnd sweet Heaven when I dieNow I've tried drinking rye and gamblin' Dancing with damnation is a ball But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself Well, you might be my favorite one of all Fi la lie lie Fi la lie lee Now let me go, my honey oh... Back to Tennessee It's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm dryAnd sweet Heaven when I dieWhy can't I go and live the Life of Riley? Why can't I go back home to apple pie?' Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much But you left a little twinkle in my eye Fi la lie lie Fi la lie lee Now let me go, my honey oh... Back to Tennessee It's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm dryAnd sweet Heaven when I dieNow some will come confessin' of transgressions Some will come confessin' of their love You were there strumming on your gay guitar You were tryin' to tell me something with your thumb Fi la lie lie Fi la lie lee Now let me go, my honey oh... Back to Tennessee It's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm dryAnd sweet Heaven when I dieIt's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm drySweet Heaven when I dieIt's beef steak when I'm workin' Whiskey when I'm drySweet Heaven when I die
