I'm Going To Memphis
Lyricist:Johnny Cash, Holly Dew, Alan Lomax
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 Vicksburg Bertha is her name Lord, I wish I was tied to Bertha Instead of this ball and chain
I'm goin' to Memphis I'm goin' to Memphis
But like a bitter weed I'm a bad seed But when that levee's through 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 I'm goin' to Memphis

I'm goin' to Memphis
Well I brought me a little water In a Mr. Prince Albert can But the boss man caught me drinkin' it And I believe he broke my hand
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 I'm goin' to Memphis
Like a bitter weed I'm a bad seed But when that levee's through 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
