I've been roaming all around
Since I left my old hometown,
Down in Memphis, Tennessee.
And I'm here to tell you true,
I am feeling mighty blue,
It's the only place for me!
I'm on my way today
To the place I'm going to stay:
Memphis bound,
On the way to my hometown,
When I get there, I'll say, I'll
pray,
The good Lord never take me 'way
from...
Tennessee,
The only place I want to be,
My heart is yearning, I'm burning;
I've got those Memphis blues!
I'm gonna find myself a sweetie,
Then I'll be so proud,
When I get him, I'll be so happy,
I'll wanna shout out-loud!
Oh, choo-choo train,
Hurry up and bring me back again,
To my hometown, hometown, Memphis,
Tennessee!
