Songs To Orphans 2
Bye Bye Johnny
Well she drew out all her money from the Central trust
And she put her little boy on the Greyhound bus
Leavin Memphis with aguitar in his hand
On a one-way ticket to the promised land
Now hey little girl with your red dress on
Theres a party tonight down in Memphis town
Ill be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, lets go tonight
How many have fallen with their dream denied
Now tell me baby are you lonesome tonight
Cause the man on the radio says Elvis Presley died
Come on, come on, lets go tonight
Down in
Comin up over the ridge one long white Cadillac
They stand along the roadside waitin in the heat
Bound together forever in the promise of an endless sleep
Well they found him slumped up against the drain
With a whole lot of nothin runnin through his veins
Well bye-bye Johnny, Johnny bye-bye
You didnt have to die, you didnt have to die
