I've been struggling up here child trying to make a living |
| [00:32.25] |
Everybody wants to take nobody like giving |
| [00:38.76] |
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama |
| [00:53.46] |
The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas |
| [01:07.11] |
No brotherly love no help no danger |
| [01:22.35] |
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers |
| [01:33.27] |
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better |
| [01:38.16] |
But today my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter |
| [01:53.37] |
Son come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama |
| [02:07.92] |
You can walk down Beale Street honey wearing your pajamas |
| [02:14.49] |
You know home folks here we let do just what you want to |
| [02:26.79] |
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner |
| [02:43.32] |
I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station |
| [03:05.94] |
I've got just enough money to pay my transportation |
| [03:10.65] |
I'm going back to Memphis back home with my Mama |
| [03:34.14] |
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas |
| [03:48.24] |
Back home in Memphis no moaning and groaning |
| [03:52.77] |
I know everything will be all right in the morning |
