Tennessee Rain
Joe Strummer
OK this is the "Tennessee Rain", the road version
Well, I wish I was drunk in Havana
I wish I was at the Mardi Gras
I wish I had me two pretty ladies
On a buckboard down on the south ??? farm
Run, run, run were the coyotes roam
Never to return to the transit road
That's were they bury the American dead
That's were they bury the American dead
Well, I wish I had one drop of liquor
That runs like a river in the cotton wood hills
Making me forget the maggots and the jiggers
I'd like to spend an evening with a moonshine still
Run, run, run were the wild wind blows
Never to return to the transit road
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
Well, I wish I was a helmsman
On a clipper bound for the Spanish main
Breathing fancy breezes
Gold Jamaican sugar cane
Run, run were the wild wind blows
Never to return to the transit road
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
Shake it out
Run, run were the wild wind blows
Never to return to the transit road
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
I could drink a hatful of the Tennessee rain
