SHE HAD EVERYTHING A MAN COULD EVER WANT OR NEED
BEAUTY, PERSONALITY, AND COULD SHE PUT ON A FEED
LUCKY ME I MARRIED HER, THOUGHT WE WERE ON OUR WAY
BUT SHE TURNED INTO SOMEONE ELSE, SHE GOT MEANER EVERY DAY
TIME DIDN'T MELLOW THE BEAST SHE HAD BECOME
YEARS WENT BY AND I KNEW I WAS ABOUT TO BREAK AND SUN
I HAD ALL THAT I COULD TAKE WAS TIME FOR ME TO GO
TO ME IT WAS MY TICKET OUT WHEN THEY PUT ME DOWN BELOW
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
I PRAY DEAR LORD DON'T TAKE HER, AND SEND HER UP TO ME
LET HER LIVE FOREVER, SO SHE WILL LET ME BE
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
FOR A TIME I TRIED TO PLEASE HER, BUT I COULD 00 NO RIGHT
SHE WANTED LOTS OF MONEY, SO I WORKED HARD DAY AND NIGHT
I COULDN'T SATISFY HER, LORD YOU KNOW I TRIED
FOR ME IT WAS A BLESSING THE DAY I UP AND DIED
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
I PRAY DEAR LORD DON'T TAKE HER AND SEND HER UP TO ME
LET HER LIVE FOREVER, SO SHE WILL LET ME BE
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
YOU MIGHT THINK I'M CRAZY, BUT I'M GLAD FOR MY DEMISE
MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL FINALLY CUT HER DOWN TO SIZE
LORD DON'T LET HER MEET ME ON THE OTHER SIDE
CAUSE IF SHE GETS TO HEAVEN, THERE'LL BE NO PLACE TO HIDE
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVE, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
I PRAY DEAR LORD DON'T TAKE HER AND SEND HER UP TO ME
LET HER LIVE FOREVER, SO SHE WILL LET ME BE
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
PLEASE HAUL ME OFF TO HEAVEN, LEAVE HER IN TENNESSEE
