I'm Going To Memphis |
| Bring a drink of water Leroy, bring a drink of water no |
| If I could get to the mercy man, he’d give me some I know |
| I got a gal in Vickburg, Bertha is her name |
| Lord I Wish I was tied to Bertha, instead of this ball and chain |
| I’m goin' to Memphis, mhm |
| I’m goin' to Memphis |
| But like a bitter weed I’m a bad seed but when that levee’s thru and I am too |
| Let the honky tonk roll on, come mornin' I’ll be gone |
| I’m goin' to Memphis |
| Well I’ve never been to Chicago but it must be a mighty fine place |
| I couldn’t get past Tennessee with Mississippi all over my face |
| I’m goin' to Memphis, mmm |
| I’m goin' to Memphis |
| Just like a bitter weed I’m a bad seed but when that levee’s thru and I am too |
| Let the honky tonk roll on, come mornin' I’ll be gone |
| I’m goin' to Memphis |
| Well I brought me a little water in a Mr. Prince Albert can |
| But the bossman caught me drinkin' it and I believe he broke my hand, hmm |
| Another boy is down the shovel burned him out |
| Let me stand on his body, to see what the shoutin’s about |
| I’m goin' to Memphis, mhm |
| I’m goin' to Memphis, mhm |
| Like a bitter weed I’m a bad seed but when that levee’s thru and I am too |
| Let the honky tonk roll on, come mornin' I’ll be gone |
| I’m goin' to Memphis yeah |
| Memphis bound |
| I’m goin' to Memphis, mhm, hmm |
