HER EYES WAS RED
HER NAME WAS HELEN
HER HEAD LOOKED LIKE
A WATERMELON
HER HAIR WAS LONG
SHE HAD A PONY
HER NECK LOOKED LIKE
A ROLL OF BOLOGNA
HER TEETH STUCK OUT
SO FIRM
SHE DIDN'T HAVE
MUCH SENSE
SHE COULD GNAW
AN EAR OF CORN
RIGHT THROUGH
A PICKET FENCE
HER MARRIAGE LICENSE
COST A QUARTER
ON THE
TENNESSEE BORDER
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
ONE NIGHT I TOOK HER OUT
TO SEE
WHAT WE COULD SEE
JUST THEN HE SAW
HER HUSBAND
AND HE STOOD
SIX FOOT THREE
HE HAD BRASS KNUCKLES
MADE TO ORDER
NOW MY TEETH
ARE SCATTERED
ON THE
TENNESSEE BORDER
HER HAIR WAS RED
HER NAME WAS HANNAH
HER NOSE LOOKED LIKE
A BIG BANANA
SHE WEIGHED SO MUCH
SHE 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 NIGHT I TOOK HER OUT
JUST ACROSS THE LINE
SHE STUMPED HER TOE
AND FELL
IN A PAIL OF TURPENTINE
HEY ERNEST
YEAH RED
WHATEVER
IN THE WORLD HAPPENED
TO THAT OLD MAN'S
DAUGHTER
WELL THE LAST TIME
I SAW HER RED
SHE WAS HEADIN'
FOR THE BORDER
HUH HUH HUH
THE TENNESSEE BORDER
