Lyrics:

I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
You know she always thought pretty well of me
She said your weddin’ went fine,
You were up in New York on your honeymoon
And tonight I'm down in Tennessee

I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
But I don’t have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while but like everything else, I messed it up
And that’s why I’m down in Tennessee

It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer
But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can’t see, things ever lookin’ up for me
I’m so down in Tennessee

I hope you’re happy with him, he’s a lucky man
I hope he gives you that home and family
I wanna say if by chance you are ever this away, look me up
'Cause I’ll be down in Tennessee

It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer
But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can’t see, things ever lookin’ up for me
I’m so down in Tennessee

I’m so down in Tennessee
I’m gonna be down in Tennessee
