Johnny Bye-Bye (Album Version)

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 a 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'd drawn out all his money and they laid him in the back A woman cried from the roadside Ah he's gone, he's gone They found him slumped up against the drain With a whole lot of trouble running through his veins Bye-bye Johnny Johnny bye-bye You didn't have to die You didn't have to die
