Johnny Bye Bye

One, two, three Well she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust And put her little boy on the Greyhound Bus Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand With a one way ticket to the Promised Land Hey little girl with the red dress on There's party tonight down in Memphis town I'll be going down there if you need a ride The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died We drove to Memphis the sky was hard and black Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac They drawed out all his money and they laid him in the back A woman cried from the roadside "Oh he's gone, he's gone" They found him slumped up against the drain With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins Bye bye Johnny Johnny bye Bye You didn't have to die You didn't have to die
