Текст пісні
Her eyes was red, her name was Helen
Her head looked like a watermelon
Her hair was long, she had a Tony
Her neck looked like a roll of baloney
Her teeth stuck out so firm
She didn't have much sense
She could gnaw an ear of corn
Right through a picket fence
Our marriage license cost a quarter
On the Tennessee border
One night I took her out
To see what we could see
Just then I saw her husband
And he stood six foot three
He had brass knuckles
All made to order
Now my teeth are scattered
On the Tennessee border
Her hair was red, her name was Hannah
Her nose looked like a big banana
She weighed so much he had some trouble
He thought that he was seeing double
He put his arm around her
And he tried to hug her
But he couldn't get close enough
'Cause she had too much blubber
She was too fat
He couldn't court her
Now she wears a girdle
Around her Tennessee border
One night I took her out
Just across the line
She stubbed her toe and fell
In a barrel of turpentine
Young man (Huh?)
Young man (Huh?)
Where is my daughter?
Well the last time I seed her
She was turnin' across the Tennessee border
