Working in Tennessee - Merle Haggard Lyrics

Working in Tennessee

Well, I went down South to give 'em a hand
Wound up workin' at Opryland
Look at me, workin' at Tennessee

Got no money, got a lot of flies
Down here workin' with the rest of the guys
Look at me, workin' at Tennessee

Well I went down lookin' for Grandpa Jones
Wound up diggin', diggin' up bones Look at me, workin' at Tennessee

I went down lookin' to be a star
Wound up hockin' my ol' guitar
Look at me, workin' at Tennessee

Well, the water came in, the water went out
Saw the Hall of Fame floatin' about
Look at me, workin' at Tennessee
