A song about my old friend J D. The marriage guidance counsellor

lyrics

Me and Mr Tennessee – Written By G D Sweeney

I never saw it comin though I knew there was something wrong ,the way she shifted in her seat
She didn’t even care to look me in the eye, when she told me that she was leaving me.
She even took the diamond ring that I bought and hocked it for a hundred bucks or so
told me that she never liked it anyway before she left me drinking on my own

Me and Mr Tennessee…the perfect drinking partner when you’re down
There’ll never be a better man to help you to forget in this whole town
Just me…and Mr Tennessee.. he’ll take the bitter taste of tears away
With every little swallow he’ll take away your sorrow and your pain

The barman saw… that I was out of luck.. and asked me who the lady was that left?
About an hour ago or so she used to be my wife.. but now she just some body that I met.
He said..i thought I recognized her face , she was in the bar about a week ago
I’m not a kiss and teller but ..she was with a fella and I thought you might like to know

Me and Mr Tennessee…the perfect drinking partner when you’re down
There’ll never be a better man to help you to forget in this whole town
Just me…and Mr Tennessee.. he’ll take the bitter taste of tears away
With every little swallow he’ll take away your sorrow and your pain

If I ever see the man who took away my wife, I wanna know what he’s got that i aint
I guess that he’s got… some bod y to share his love, while i ’ve got some bod y to share my pain.
So I called my woman on the telephone, I had to get a few things off my chest
I said I cant forgive ye.. but a friend of mine is helping me forget.

Me and Mr Tennessee…the perfect drinking partner when you’re down
There’ll never be a better man to help you to forget in this whole town
Just me…and Mr Tennessee.. he’ll take the bitter taste of tears away
With every little swallow he’ll take away your sorrow and your pain
