Johnny ByeBye - Bruce Springsteen Max Weinberg

One two three

Well she drew out all her money from

The Southern Trust

And put her little boy on a Greyhound Bus

Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand

On a one-way ticket to the promised land

Well hey little girl with the red dress on

There's a party tonight down in Memphis town

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

A man on the radio says

Elvis Presley's died

We drove down into Memphis

The sky was hard and black

Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac

They'd drawn 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 lot of trouble

Hey running through his veins

Bye-bye Johnny Johnny bye-bye

You didn't have to die

You didn't have to die
