If you ever been to Memphis : you stop down in Hollywood
Lord the women out there : don't mean no one man no good
I'm leaving St Louis : I'm going out Grand Avenue
I got to go to Memphis : something over there that I want 
to do
When I hit Grand [Avenue] : look like my troubles just 
begun
Lord it breaks my heart : to sing about Highway Sixty?One
I felt so blue : while I was out on that lonely highway
I say I'm riding now : but maybe my trouble will end some 
sweet day
I can stand right here : look [down] on Beale Avenue
I can see everything : that pretty Miss so?and?so do
Oh listen kind mama : don't worry about your dad when I'm 
gone
You know I'm wild about your kind mama : I ain't going to 
do nothing wrong
