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 lower in her corner
Right through the picket fence
Her 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 seein' 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 stopped her toe and fell in a barrel of terpentine
Young man (ah), young man (ha)
Where is my daughter?
Well, the last time i see'ed her
She was tearin' across the tennessee border
