I got left in a rag in my pajamas. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] There ain't no brotherly love, and no help, and no danger.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I went hungry in New York, Chicago wasn't no better. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But [F#m] today my dear mother wrote and showed [A] me in a letter. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] Said, come on back to Memphis and lay up here with your mama. _
_ _ _ _ _ You [A] can walk down Beale Street running wearing your pajamas. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] There's no folks down here that let you do just like they wanna. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] And I born you and raised you right here on the corner.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you.
