Goin’ to Memphis

Lyrics

Bring me little water, Leroy Bring me little water (no!) Only my sainted mother were here She'd bring me some I know Goin' to Memphis, yeah I'm goin' to Memphis, hey well Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed When that levee's through and I am too Let the honky tonk roll on That moment I'll be gone My brother brought me some water In a little Prince Albert can Boss man caught me drinkin' from it I believe he broke my hand Goin' to Memphis, yeah Goin' to Memphis, hey well Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed When the levee's through and I am too Let the honky tonk roll on That moment I'll be gone Well I've been on the levee far too long I don't intend to stay Don't care about that electrical fence I'm making my getaway Goin' to Memphis, yeah Goin' to Memphis, hey well Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed When the levee's through and I am too Let the honky tonk roll on That moment I'll be gone
