Bye Bye Johnny [Johnny Bye-Bye]

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
