[VERSE 1]
A7
I've been struggling up here, just, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody likesgiving
    D7
I wish I was in Memphis back home with my Mama
         A7
The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
   E7
No brotherly love, no help, no danger
        A7
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers
[VERSE 2]
   A7
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
   D7
Said, come on back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
   A7
You can walk down Beale Street honey, wearing your pajamas
             E7
You know  folks down here, we let do just what you want to
        A7
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner
[BREAK} (to verse pattern 2x)

[VERSE 3]
A7
I'm going get up in the morning going to the bus station
I've got just enough money to reach my destination
     D7
I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
             A7
I'm going to ride that bus barefoot in my  pajamas
E7
Yeah I'm going back to Memphis, no moaning and groaning
        A7
I know everything will be all right in the morning
[OUTRO]
