Number Nine From Tennossee
Had a girl from Idaho and three from Mississip
The one I had from Kansas gave me lottsa lip.
My Georgia Peach was way too deep
And the Yooper weren’t no fun
Then sweet Colleen from Abilene
She put me on the run.
I said I’d sworn off women, drama ain’t my thing
At least at home and all alone I am still the king.
But I took a walk and tried to balk
When she passed my way
I shoulda run but I’m too dumb
She might be here to stay.
Now I’ve had eight from six great states
But they didn’t work for me
Gonna give it one more try
With number nine from Tennossee.
Still not finished, could use another stanza or 2 but I think it may have some potential, but, of course, I am very biased.
