| Oh, I’ve been down to Memphis
|
| It’s where my family goes to die
|
| And as they all end up there
|
| So shall I
|
| Used my lucky dollar
|
| Struck up my last match
|
| But the old man coming fast enough to catch
|
| And if, at first, you don’t choose right, choose again
|
| Oh, my son, you’re a sorry sight, choose again
|
| Catch me in the movies
|
| Sleeping in my dirty clothes
|
| If you ask me what I’m watching
|
| Who knows
|
| Got me a rich uncle
|
| Can’t ask for a loan
|
| So, I guess I gotta make that money on my own
|
| And if, at first, you don’t choose right, choose again
|
| Oh, my son, you’re a sorry sight, choose again
|
| Heaven ain’t got no place for me
|
| But there’s plenty of beds in hell
|
| If you ask me how I’m doing
|
| Not so well
|
| Down with every symptom
|
| Cherish every cough
|
| And if you pass me that old bottle, I’ll polish it off
|
| And if, at first, you don’t choose right, choose again
|
| Oh, my son, you’re a sorry sight, choose again
|
| And if, at first, you don’t choose right, choose again
|
| All your troubles will hold you tight, choose again |
