[Intro]
x2
I kissed you c
ause I've neve
r been an ange
l
I learned to s
ay hosannas on
/
my knees
But they threw
me out of Sun
day school whe
n I was nine
And the sister
s said I did j
ust as I pleas
ed
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
Fa la la la
Fa la la lee
Now let me go,
my honey oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
[Instrumental]
Now I've tried
drinking rye
and gamblin'
Dancing with d
amnation is a
ball
But of all the
little ways I
've found to h
urt myself
Well you might
be my favorit
e one of all
Fa la la la
Fa la la lee
Now let me go,
my honey oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
Why can't I go
and live the
life rightly?
Why can't I go
back home to
apple pie?
Cause your aff
ront to my vir
tue was a touc
h too much
But you left a
little twinkl
e in my eye
Fa la la la
Fa la la lee
Now let me go,
my honey oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
Now some will
come confessin
g of transgres
sions
Some will come
confessing of
/
their love
You were there
strumming on
your gay guita
r
You were tryin
g to tell me s
omething with
your thumb
Fa la la la
Fa la la lee
Now let me go,
my honey oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
It's beef stea
k when I'm wor
king
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
