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 g
irl
It's only what
I want that m
akes me weak
I had no desir
e to be a chil
d of sin
Then you went
and pressed yo
ur whiskers to
my cheek
Fa la ly ly
Fa la ly lee
Now let me go,
my honey, oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
Now I tried dr
inking 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 ly ly
Fa la ly lee
Now let me go,
my honey, oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
Why can't I go
and live the
life of Riley?
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 ly ly
Fa la ly lee
Now let me go,
my honey, oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
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 ly ly
Fa la ly lee
Now let me go,
my honey, oh
Back to Tennes
see
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
It's beefsteak
when I'm work
ing
Whiskey when I
'm dry
Sweet heaven w
hen I die
