Mama I've Got To Go To Memphis - Merle Haggard

Mama did she leave to go to Memphis

Are you taking care care of Braidy while she’s gone

And mama is she down there drown the mem’ries

Surely she won’t be in Memphis very long.

Mama since I left her I’ve been crazy

I bet she thinks my love for her is gone

I stopped by because I thought she’d be here waiting

Mama Memphis can’t be very far.

She’ll be back to get the baby

Could I stay with little Braidy while she’s gone

She’ll be back to get the baby

Surely she won’t stay in Memphis very long.

She’ll be back to get the baby

Could I stay with little Braidy while she’s gone

She’ll be back to get the baby

Surely she won’t stay in Memphis very long…
