Lost My Heart in Tupelo

I's headed up to Memphis town, riding out of New Orleans
I've seen country far and wide and everything that's in between
Oh, I've known ladies, sweet and fine
But the one to be the death of me
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee

Gonna learn how to sing, gonna learn how to play
Gonna get that lady back in my arms
She likes a man who can make her hips sway and sing all her favorite love songs
Well six little strings and a little more time, that girl is gonna marry me
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee

Gotta learn how to Two-Step and Line Promenade
You gotta keep your strings in tune
Gotta sound as sweet as grandma's lemonade, all them ladies gonna notice you
But there's only one girl that belongs in my world, the one that's gonna set my heart free
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee

Gotta play just like Johnny and sing sweet as June if I'm gonna have a half a chance
Well, there's only one way that that girl will be mine
You know I'm gonna have to get her to dance
Oh, if practice makes perfect, Hell, I'm doing fine, I'm playing til my fingers bleed
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee

Darling, oh darling, oh, would you be mine? I've traveled such a long, long way
I'll give you my loving, I'll give you my time, if you would just listen to me play
Oh, nothing sounds sweeter than my love for you, I'm hoping this'll make you see
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee
I lost my heart in Tupelo, bought my guitar in Tennessee
