I've been a-strugglin' up here, you know I'm tryin' to make a livin'
ticket, nobody likes a givin'
Memphis, back home with Mama
left, that ain't rags is my pajamas
love, and no help, and no danger
town full of cold-hearted strangers
Chicago wasn't no bad arm of hers
wrote and told me in a letter, y'all
ticket, nobody likes a givin'
Memphis, back home with Mama
left, that ain't rags is my pajamas
love, and no help, and no danger
town full of cold-hearted strangers
Chicago wasn't no bad arm of hers
wrote and told me in a letter, y'all

_ _ _ _ _ I've been a-strugglin' up here, you know I'm tryin' to make a livin'
_ _ Everybody wants a ticket, nobody likes a givin'
I _ [F#m] wish I was back in Memphis, back home with Mama
_ _ [E] The only clothes I got left, that ain't rags is my pajamas
_ _ [G#m] There's no brotherly love, and no help, and no danger
_ _ [E] Just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers
_ I went home late in the mornin', Chicago wasn't no bad arm of hers
So today my dear mother wrote and told me in a letter, y'all
[F#m] She said, come on back to Memphis, back home to Mama
_ _ _ [A] [E] You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearin' your pajamas
_ _ [B] I tell you, folks down here, they let you do just like you wanted
_ _ _ [E] And I borned you and I raised you right here on the corner

_ _ _ _ _ I'm a-leavin' in the mornin', goin' to the bus station
_ _ I got just enough money to make my destination
_ _ [F#m] I'm goin' back home to Memphis, back home to Mama
I'm _ [E] gonna ride that bus, now I'm puttin' my pajamas on
_ [B] But I'm goin' back to Memphis no more, more than any grownin' ever
_ [E] I tell you, everything will be alright in the mornin' _ _ _ _ _ _
