[verse 1]
i was strugglin’ up here, just tryin’ to make a livin’
everybody wants to take and n0body likes givin’
i was shot back in memphis, back home with my mama
the only clothes i got left are these rags and my pyjamas
yeah, no brotherly love, and no help and no danger
just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers

[verse 2]
i went hungry in new york, chicago was no better
but today my dear mama wrote and told me in a letter
said, “come on back to memphis and lay up here with your mama
you can walk down beele street, honey, wearin’ your pyjamas
you know, folks down here, they let you do just like you wanna
and i born you and raised you right here on the corner”

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
i’m gonna get up in the mornin’, goin’ to the bus station
i got just enough money, you know, to reach my destination
i’m goin’ back to memphis, back home to my mama
i’m goin’ to ride that bus barefoot in my pyjamas
yeah, goin’ back to memphis, no moanin’ and a-groanin’
i know everything will be alright in the morning
[guitar solo]
