Going Back To Memphis (Outtake) |
| 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 |
