Lyrics:
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Memphis,
But she just walked up the bluff.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you paddle down by Baton Rouge,
River
a drunken head
"If I had a boat
I'd help y'all float"
Eliza stood there watching
William in a trance
As the widow sang the
The St. Vitus dance
But just
a drunken head
"If I had a boat
I'd help y'all float"
Eliza stood there watching
William in a trance
As the widow sang the
The St. Vitus dance
But just
Memphis,
But she just walked up the bluff.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you paddle down by Baton Rouge,
River
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
heard."Lift up your head for I kept my word.Three times my shadow crossed your floorAnd three times I came to your lonely door.I was the beggar with bruised,
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed
she up
And slowly went she nigh him
But all she said as she passed his bed
Young man I think you're dying
Then lightly tripped she down
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothing to let you
They'd have whopped me sure but the sheriff came
I slipped off ran through the dry goods store
I ran down Division Street
Some of them boys followed me
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk
I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States
Taking me
I'll hit at least one (okay, slatt, slatt, slatt, slatt)
Got 'em all tannin' by the pool and they greased up (okay)
Police in my city, man, I keep they

company
And I got evicted at the same time
So I went down and tracked the beats from him
And I took that money, came back, packed all my shit up in
quite taken in by it all
Till her brother came in the Spring
And he took her back to St. Paul
I don't go down to Jackson
Ain't nothing there but
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
But
In the days of William Bonney, better known as Bill the Kid
A young cowboy named Joey Steel was 'bout to make his bid
Well, he heard one day that
met him at some suburban St. Paul mall
Yeah, and St. Theresa came to Holly, but I wasn't even at that party
I'd already moved out to New York City
have thought this man in black was soft
And had any yellow up his back
I gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in
And it wasn't to pray
Yeah, he
