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 |
