Bruce Springsteen - Johnny Bye-Bye lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Johnny Bye-Bye lyrics]
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 down into 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 troubles
Running through his veins
Bye bye, Johnny johnny, bye bye
You didn't have to die
You didn't have to die
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 down into 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 troubles
Running through his veins
Bye bye, Johnny johnny, bye bye
You didn't have to die
You didn't have to die
