lirik lagu going to memphis – johnny cash
[verse 1]
bring a drink of water leroy
bring a drink of water, no
if i could get to the mercy man
he’d give me some i know
i got a gal in vicksburg
bertha is her name
wish i’s tied to bertha
instead of this ball and chain
[chorus 1]
i’m going to memphis, that’s right lord, yeah
[verse 2]
a dude took all my money
wouldn’t let me see the cards
i owe the boss about a hundred years
for sleeping in his backyard
[chorus 2]
i’m going to memphis, yeah memphis
yeah i’m going to memphis
[chorus 3]
like a bitter weed, i’m a bad seed
but when that levee’s through and i am too
let the honky tonk roll on
come morning i’ll be gone
[chorus 2]
[verse 3]
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
[chorus 1]
[verse 4]
well, the freezing ground at night
is my own folding bed
pork 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 boss man caught me drinking it
and i believe, he broke my hand
they all call me crazy for s-ssing mr. scott
my brother was k!lled for a deed i did
but i this remember what, yeah
well another boy is down
the shovel burned him out
let me stand on his body
to see what the shoutin’s about
[chorus 2]
[chorus 3]
[chorus 2]
