[VERSE 1]
A7I've been struggling up here, just, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody likesgiving
I wiD7sh I was in Memphis back home with my Mama
The only A7clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
No E7brotherly love, no help, no danger
Just a gA7reat big town full of cold hearted strangers
[VERSE 2]
I wA7ent hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
SaiD7d, come on back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
YouA7 can walk down Beale Street honey, wearing your pajamas
You know folE7ks down here, we let do just what you want to
And I boA7rn you and raised you right here on the corner

[VERSE 3]
A7I'm going get up in the morning going to the bus station
I've got just enough money to reach my destination
I'm gD7oing back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
I'm going to A7ride that bus barefoot in my pajamas
E7Yeah I'm going back to Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know eA7verything will be all right in the morning
