Woorden: J. J. Cale. Mississippi River.

Mississippi River railroad track
Want to go to Memphis get my baby back

Get me a motorcycle take off tomorrow
If it don?t run I?ll get me a car
Fill that car with gasoline
Do anything just to see her again

Mississippi River railroad track
Want to go to Memphis get my baby back

Walkin' down the highway, thumbin' down the road
Got to get there, how I don?t know
Uphill, downhill just around the bend
Got to go to Memphis see my baby again

Leavin' in the mornin', I cannot wait
Got to go to Memphis, see my baby today
Get me a ticket, fly on a cloud
Airplane, airplane help me out

Mississippi River railroad track
Want to go to Memphis get my baby back
