Johnny Bye Bye

Well she drew out all her money from the southern trust

And put her little boy on the greyhound bus

Leaving memphis with a guitar in his hand

With a one way ticket to the promised land

Hey little girl with the red dress on

There's party tonight down in memphis down

I'll be going down there if you need a ride

The man on the radio says elvis presley's died



We drove to memphis the sky was hard and black

Up over the ridge came a white cadillac

They drawed out all his money and they laid him in the back

A woman cried from the roadside "oh he's gone, he's gone"

They found him slumped up against the drain

With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins



Bye bye johnny

Johnny bye bye

You didn't have to die

You didn't have to die



(all aboard!

Train i ride...

Sixteen coaches long)



Just like a woman (bob dylan/bob dylan)



Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as i stand inside the rain

Everybody knows

That baby has got me closed

But lately i see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls



She takes just like a woman, yes she does

She makes love just like a woman, yes she does

And she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl



Queen mary she's my friend

Yes i believe i'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess

That baby can't be blessed

'till she finally sees

That she's like all the rest

With her fog her amphetamine and her pearls



It was raining from the first

And i was dying there of thirst

So i came in here

And your long time curse hurts

But what's worse

Is this pain in here

I can't stay in here

Ain't it clear that i just can't fit

Yes i believe it's for us to quit

When we meet again introduced as friends

Please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world



Ah you fake just like a woman, yes you do

You make love just like a woman, yes you do

And you ache just like a woman

But you break just like a little girl
