Johnny Bye-Bye |
One, two, three
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
And put her little boy on the Greyhound Bus
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
On a one-way ticket to the promised land
Well hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in Memphis town
I'll be going 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, yeah, running through his veins
Bye-bye Johnny, Johnny bye-bye
You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm
