Working in Tennessee - Merle Haggard

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
