I Came From Memphis (album version)

from Gettin' Things Done by Matt Kaye

/

lyrics

I came from Memphis on a fast train
Escorted by Able and killed by Cain
I came from Memphis in a hard rain

Ten thousand women knockin' on my coffin
They all wanna whisper sweet nothin's
They all wanna drive some extra nails
I came from Memphis on a fast train

I came from Memphis on a fast train
Escorted by Able and killed by Cain
I came from Memphis in a hard rain

The driver says the road's been closed
They never seen so much rain since Noah
The Ferriday town gone Lord Lord
They all been sayin' better go up North

I came from Memphis on a fast train
Escorted by Able and killed by Cain
I came from Memphis in a hard rain

The undertaker says that's fine
Roll over son you're the next in line

I came from Memphis on a fast train
Escorted by Able and killed by Cain
I came from Memphis in a hard rain
