[1] Milwaukee's where we were [4] before we came [1] here
Working in a brewery and [2maj] making the finest [5] beer
[1] She came to me on a payday night said [4] let's go to [1] Tennessee
So [4] we came down to [1] Nashville to the [5] Grand Ole [1] Opry

We turned on the TV Minnie Pearl was talking loud
I said that's the woman for me I love her there's no doubt
I'm leaving here right now to find out where she's at
if I can't get her I'll settle for little pretty Tammy Wynette

So I'm gonna get on the old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Mulwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

I'm going now and trade my old Ford for a Olds
I might get all drunked up and trade it for a Rolls
One thing I know for sure I'll always be blue
There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop my loving you
