johnny bye bye - bruce springsteen lyrics

Loading...

she drew out all her money from the southern trust
and put her little boy on a greyhound bus
leaving memphis with a guitar in his hand
on a one-way ticket to the promised land
hey little girl with the red dress on
there’s party tonight down in memphis down
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 running through his veins
bye-bye johnny
johnny bye-bye
you didn’t have to die
you didn’t have to die

alternate 1981 live version:
she drew out all her money from the southern trust
and put her little boy on a greyhound bus
leaving memphis with a guitar in his hand
with a one-way ticket to the promised land.

now, hey little girl with the red dress on
there’s a party tonight down in memphis town
i’ll be going down now if you need a ride
come on, come on let’s go tonight

how many have fallen with a dream denied
now, tell me baby are you lonesome tonight?
’cause a man on the radio says elvis presley died
come on,come on,let’s go tonight.

he drove down into memphis,the sky was hard and black
up over the ridge came a white cadillac
they’re standing by the roadside. in the heat
bound together, forever, in the promise of an endless sleep

they found him slumped up against the drain
with a whole lot of nothing running through his veins
bye bye johnny, johnny bye bye
you didn’t have to die, you didn’t have to die.
