The
last time I
saw her, she was waving me goodbye She swore no other boy would take my place I
took a
Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the
Bayou I
hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face. Please tell her that I
said hello Explain to her I
didn't want to go But a
message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I
can get out now, she'll never know She'll never know, never know. I
stayed around, I
played around with all those Southern belles But they took away my money and my pride I
had no place to go and the
rest you know darn well Living out the
gutter ain't so easy to describe. But I
still had my guitar, so I
joined a
dirty band Working in a
smoky downtown bar When comes along this big wheel with a
contract in his hand Said: 'Put your mark along here boy, I'm gonna make you a
rock'n'roll star'. Please tell her that I
said hello Explain to her I
didn't want to go But a
message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I
can get out now, she'll never know Never know, never know. Well the
years have come and gone and I
was passing through to find That my home town was still the
same to see Well, the
memory I
had of her had crumbled from my mind I
really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me. Please tell her that I
said hello Explain to her I
didn't want to go But a
message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I
can get out now, she'll never know She'll never know, never know. Mmm... If I
can get out now, she'll never know Never know, never know Never know, never know Never know.
