Going Back To Memphis
(专辑: Moondog Matinee - 1973)
I've been struggling up here, just trying to make a
living Everybody wants to take, nobody likes giving I
wish I
was back in Memphis back home with my Mama The
only clothes I
got left that ain't rags is my pajamas No brotherly love, no help, no danger Just a
great big town full of cold hearted strangers I
went hungry in New York, Chicago was no better But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter Son, come home back to Memphis and live here with your Mama You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas You know folks down here, we let do just what you want to And I
born you and raised you right here on the
corner I'm going to leave here in the
morning and walk down to the
station I've got just enough money to reach my destination I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama If I
have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning I
know everything will be all right in the
morning
