But everybody wants to take it, nobody likes giving.

I [G] wish I was back in Memphis, [D] back home with my mama. _ _ _
[A] The only clothes I got left, [D] they're the rags [A] in my pajamas. _ _ _
[Abm] [E] There's no brothers in love, there's no help, there's no danger. _ _
[A] It's just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers.
[D] _ _
[Am] [A] I've been hungry in New York and [Eb] Chicago, but no [A] better.
[Am] _ _
[A] One day my dear mother wrote me a letter. _ _
[D] She said, get on back to Memphis, get back home to your mama.
[Am] _ _
[A] You can walk down Beale [Am] Street wearing your [A] pajamas. _ _
[E] There's no folks down here that'll let you do just like you want to.
[Em] _ _
[A] And I bond you and raise you right here on the corner.

I'm not leaving any morning, going to the bus station. _ _
I got just enough money to make my destination. _ _
[D] I'm going back home to Memphis, back home to mama.
_ [Am] _
[A] I'm going to ride that bus, they'll [D] put in my [A] pajamas. _ _
[D] [E] Then I'm going back to Memphis no more morning in the groin. _
I [A] tell you, everything will be all right in the morning. _ _

So please welcome Mr.
