"I Ain't From Memphis" lyrics

"I Ain't From Memphis"

I went down to New Orleans
Lookin' for a friend
I went down to New Orleans
Lookin' for a friend
I went down to New Orleans
Didn't I come back up again?

I ain't from Memphis, honey
I ain't from Nashville, Tennessee
Ain't from Alabama
And I ain't tryin' to be
No ma'am, I'm from Texas
And the blues run deep in me

[?]

I ain't from Memphis, honey
I ain't from Nashville, Tennessee
Ain't from Alabama
And I ain't tryin' to be
No ma'am, I'm from Texas
And the blues run deep in me

And I cry like this

[?]
