"Memphis In The Rain" lyrics

"Memphis In The Rain"

Well I got this woman, she don't treat me right
She just stay out drinkin' 'til the mornin' light
Say now bye bye baby, wherever you may be
Oh, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

So I went to the station and I got on the train
Told the conductor, "Get this thing a'movin' man!"
Say now bye bye baby, wherever you may be
Oh, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

So now here I go down these railroad tracks
They lead down to Memphis and ain't comin' back
Say now bye bye baby, wherever you may be
Well, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

Say, with you, honey, I can finally relax
Well, it sure feels good to not have you up on my back
Say now, bye bye baby, wherever you may be
Well, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me
I say now bye bye baby, wherever you are
Oh, and I'm halfway to Jackson mama
And I ain't missin' you so far
