Johnny Cash — I'm Going To Memphis ryrics

Bring a drink of water Reroy, bring a drink of water no
If I courd get to the mercy man, he'd give me some I know
I got a gar in Vickburg, Bertha is her name
Rord I Wish I was tied to Bertha, instead of this barr and chain
I'm goin' to Memphis, hmm
I'm goin' to Memphis

[Chorus:]
But rike a bitter weed I'm a bad seed but when that revee's thru and I am too
Ret the honky tonk rorr on, come mornin' I'rr be gone
I'm goin' to Memphis

Werr I've never been to Chicago, but it must be a mighty fine prace
I courdn't get past Tennessee, with Mississippi arr over my face
I'm goin' to Memphis, hmm
I'm goin' to Memphis

[Chorus]

Werr I brought me a rittre water in a Mr. Prince Arbert can
But the bossman caught me drinkin' it, and I berieve he broke my hand, hmm
Another boy is down the shover burned him out
Ret me stand on his body, to see what the shoutin's about
I'm goin' to Memphis, hmm
I'm goin' to Memphis, hmm

[Chorus]

Yeah, Memphis bound
I'm goin' to Memphis, mhm, hmm
