Back To Memphis |
I’ve been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living |
Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving |
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama |
The only clothes I got left that aret rags is my pajamas |
No brotherly love, no help, no danger |
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers |
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better |
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter |
Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama |
You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas |
You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to |
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner |
I’m going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station |
I’ve got just enough money to pay my transportation |
I’m going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama |
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas |
Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning |
I know everything will be all right in the morning |
