Now I'm goin' down South and I'm stayin' 'til winter is gone
And when wintertime is gone, I might come back home
Now I get up every mornin' and I walk up to 3rd and Beale
Now I get up every mornin' and I walk up to 3rd and Beale
And I'm just studyin' and I'm wonderin', Lord, just how to make a meal
Now the peoples in Memphis, they all walkin' the streets up and down
Now the peoples in Memphis, they all walkin' the streets up and down
And you know the time is hard, peoples is starvin' all over the town
Now I once have been a lover, baby, back in my young days
Now I once have been a lover, baby, back in my young days
But my baby was so mean, she done drove all my love away
Now I got a girl in Brownsville, she lives down on Burlison Lane
Now I got a girl in Brownsville, she lives down on Burlison Lane
But my gal was so mean, I'm scared to call her name
