| Lyrics |
I went to West Memphis to meet my baby there
I said I went to West Memphis to meet my baby there
She had bright red lips and kinky auburn hair
I went to Howard Johnsons, got a first floor room
I said I went to Hojos, got us a first floor room
It had a vibrating bed and check out time was noon
I waited for my baby til it was almost dark
I waited for that gal til it was almost dark
And I gave up on her and went over to the greyhound park
I went to the window, put ten on number three
I went to the window, put ten on dog number three
And there was that wench with a rounder right next to me
That two-timing no-account, she took number four
That skanky wench took dog number four
My dog won the race and hers didn't even show
I t ook my winnings, it was a handsome sum
I took my winnings and it was a handsome sum
And I went to Beale Street to get me some beedle um bum |
