Johnny Bye Bye
|
|
She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
|
And put her little boy on a Greyhound bus
|
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
|
On a one-way ticket to the Promised Land
|
|
Hay little girl, with the red dress on
|
There's a party tonight down in Memphis town
|
I'll be goin' down there if you need a ride
|
The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died
|
|
We drove down into Memphis, the sky was hard and black
|
Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac
|
They'd drawn out all his money, and they laid him in the back
|
A woman cried from the roadside, Ah he's gone, he's gone
|
They found him slumped up against the drain
|
With a whole lot of trouble runnin' through his veins
|
|
Bye Bye Johnny
|
Johnny Bye Bye
|
You didn't have to die
|
You didn't have to die
|
