Going To Memphis - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Bring a drink of water leroy bring a drink of water no

If I could get to the mercy man he's give me some I know

I got a gal in vickburg bertha is her name

Wish is tied to bertha instead of this ball and chain

I'm goin' to memphis that's right lord yeah uh huh

But dues took all my money wouldn't let me see the cards

I owen the boss about a hundred years for sleeping in his backyard

Goin' to memphis memphis yeah goin' to memphis now

Like a bitter w**d I'm a bad seed but

When that levee's thru and I am too

Let the honky tonk roll on come morning I'll be gone

I never been to chicago but it must be a mighty fine place that's right

I couldn't get past tennessee with mississippi all over my face uh huh

I'm goin' to memphis that's right lord memphis

Well the freezin' ground at night is my own foldin' bed

Polk salad is my bread and meat and it will be till I'm dead

Well I brought me a little water in a Mr prince albert can

But the bossman caught me drinking it and

I believe he broke my hand hm hm

They all call me crazy for sassin' Mr scott

Well another boy is down the shovel burned him out

Let me stand on his body to see what the shoutin's about

Like a bitter w**d I'm a bad seed but

When that levee's thru and I am too

Let the honky tonk roll on come morning I'll be gone
