E 
Walkin west to Memphis 
             E7 
I move along easily 
A 
I kick one foot in front of the other 
                                E 
I got my baby waiting there for me 
         B                                      E 
Well I’m walkin west to Memphis, Memphis Tennessee 


[Verso 1]
 
E 
Well I’ve been down to Nashville 
             E7 
I ramble all around 
      A 
Yea I go to where the cash will 
                    E 
I gambled in your town 
A 
I’ve been down and out and been up and about 
                          E 
been where the lucks been found 
B 
My truck broke down I ran her into the ground 
But I’m still Memphis bound.

E 
Well I likes me a glass of whiskey 
          E7 
She likes lemonade 
A 
I like to feel the sunshine 
                           E 
She likes a chaise in the shade 
   A 
But we both like some huggin 
                      E 
Long about the end of day 
B 
And thats why I quit my gamblin 
And now I’m on my way

[Verso 3]

E 
Now folks just passing by me 
                  E7 
I gotta get me a ride 
A 
The bright sun sets and fades 
                            E 
The last stretch runs mighty wide 
A 
The wind picks up behind me 
                            E 
And then the miles go flying by 
B 
I kept my good gal waiting 
But now I see that old city limit sign.
