Tennessee Woman

Tennessee Woman - (Words and Music by John Lee)

Chorus
Tennessee Woman you prey on my mind
Your memory’s still walking the pages of time
Your loves still burning’ it will till the end,
When they lay me down, I’ll bury you then, when they lay me down, I’ll bury you then,

Verse
I remember it plain like it was yesterday,
The first time I saw you, it was sprinkling rain
You were in a rose garden, with flowers in bloom
But those pedals of beauty, paled beside you, those pedals of beauty, paled beside you

Chorus
Tennessee Woman you prey on my mind
Your memory’s still walking the pages of time
Your loves still burning’ it will till the end,
When they lay me down, I’ll bury you then, When they lay me down, I’ll bury you then,

You always come to me somewhere in the night,
Your image stills haunts me, thru dreams in my mind,
Your long velvet hair, Tied up in white lace,
Sometimes I swear, I hear you calling my name, Sometimes I swear, I hear you calling my name,

Chorus
Tennessee Woman you prey on my mind,
Your memory’s still walking the pages of time,
Your loves still burning’ it will till the end,
When they lay me down, I’ll bury you then, When they lay me down, I’ll bury you then,

When they lay me down, I’ll bury you, bury you, then
