Boy from Tupelo - Emmylou Harris

You don’t love me, this I know

Don’t need a Bible to tell me so

I hung around a little too long

I was good, but now I’m gone

Like the buffalo

That boy from Tupelo

Any way the wind can blow

That’s where I’m gonna go

I’ll be gone like a five and dime

It’ll be the perfect crime

Just ask the boy from Tupelo

He’s the king and he ought to know

The shoulder I’ve been leanin' on

Is the coldest place I’ve ever known

There’s nothing left for me round here

Looks like it’s time to disappear

Like the buffalo

That boy from Tupelo

The old wall down in Jericho

Maybelle on the radio

I’ll be gone like a five and dime

It’ll be the perfect crime

Just ask the boy from Tupelo

He’s the king and he ought to know

You don’t love me, this I know

Don’t need a Bible to tell me so

But it’s a shame and it’s a sin

Everything I could have been

Your last chance Texaco

Your sweetheart of the rodeo

A Juliet to your Romeo

The border you cross into Mexico

I’ll never understand why or how

Oh but baby, it’s too late now

Just ask the boy from Tupelo

He’s the king and he ought to know
