The Grateful Dead — Tennessee Jed Live at Boston Garden Boston MA September 25 1991

[Verse 1] Cold iron shackles and ball and chain Listen to the whistle of the evening train Know you bound to wind up dead If you don't head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 2] Rich man step on my poor head When you get back you better butter my bread Read it this morning, children, and all it read You better head back to Tennessee, Jed [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me Back to Tennessee [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Drink all day, gonna rock all night The law come to get you if you don't walk right Well, you know, children, it's like I said You better head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 4] I dropped four flights and cracked my spine Honey, come quick with the iodine Well, you know, people, it's like I said You better head back to Tennessee, Jed [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me Back to Tennessee [Verse 5] I run into Charlie Phogg He blacked my eye, you know he kicked my dog My dog, he turned to me and he said: Let's head back to Tennessee, Jed [Verse 6] I woke up feeling mean I went down to play the slot machine The wheels turned around, people, the letters read: You better head back to Tennessee, Jed [Chorus] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me Back to Tennessee [Instrumental] [Outro] Tennessee, Tennessee There ain't no place I'd rather be Baby, won't you carry me Back to Tennessee
