I don't want you to weep mama : I don't want you to moan
But I'm so glad : now made me leave my home
When I was down in Mississippi : having troubles of my 
own
But I done got satisfied : South Memphis is my home
Mmm : mama what's the matter now
I would take you to South Memphis : mama but I don't know 
how
I've been so true mama : and I want you to do
Before I'll take you to South Memphis : I going bid you 
adieu
