Goin' Down to Memphis |
| Goin' down to Memphis |
| Maybe get my ashes hauled |
| I can drive me a car, man |
| But I don’t need no car at all |
| I believe I’ll ride that Memphis cannon ball |
| She runs so fast |
| You can’t catch her from behind |
| Ah, she runs so fast |
| You can’t catch her from behind |
| But I’ll be there waitin' |
| For that little Memphis girl of mine |
| Why I left |
| Guess I’ll never know |
| Why I left |
| Man I guess I’ll never know |
| Sittin' here thinkin' |
| I’m one dumb-ass so and so |
| I’m headed back |
| That Memphis train |
| She leaves real soon |
| The Memphis train |
| Sound like she leaves real soon |
| Got nothin' to guide me |
| 'Cept the color of the moon |
| Hangin' over Memphis |
| Headed down |
| Where the Mississippi runs |
| Boys I’m headed home |
| Back where the Mississippi runs |
| I hear there’s some lovin' there |
| Try to get me some |
| Headed down to Memphis |
| Maybe get my ashes hauled |
| Just don’t know |
| Why I ever left at all |
| I’m gettin' on that train, man |
| I ain’t even gonna call |
| Be there before the break of day |
