| If you love somebody enough
 | 
| You’ll follow wherever they go
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| I haven’t eaten a bite
 | 
| It’s been three long days and nights
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| If you see her, please tell me, now won’t you tell me, my friend
 | 
| I’ve got to find her to find out this trouble she’s in, again
 | 
| And if you find out she ain’t here, boy you can follow the trail of my tears
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| She’d get mad and she used to say
 | 
| Boy, I’m goin' to go back to Memphis someday
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| Thank you for your precious time
 | 
| Aw, but forgive me if I start to cryin'
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| I’ve got to find her and tell her how I love her so
 | 
| I will not rest till I find out why she had to go
 | 
| And if you love somebody enough, just go where your heart wants to go
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis
 | 
| That’s how I got to Memphis |
