Tell ’Em Bout Me (When You Reach Tennessee)

Sidney Easton

[Verse]
At the railroad station
My heart was filled with pain
My best pal, his best gal
Got tickets for a evening train
While thinking of Mammy and old Uncle Ned
As I stepped through the gate, I said

[Chorus]
Tell 'em 'bout me, brown baby
When you reach Tennessee
In the town where I'm longing to be
More than few hungry hearts
Longing for those Southern parts
Wish they had what it takes to go home
Every chick, every child
Greets you with a welcome smile
But in the wake of your good time, think of me
'Cause what goes up must come down
Soon I'll be Dixie-bound
When you reach Tennessee
Tell 'em 'bout me

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
What goes up must come down
Soon I'll be Dixie-bound
When you reach Tennessee
Tell 'em 'bout me
