Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, she drew out all her money
From the Southern Trust
And put her little boy
On a Greyhound bus
[Verse 2]
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
On a one-way ticket to the promised land
Hey now, little girlie with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in Memphis town
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
A man on the radio says Elvis Presley died
[Verse 3]
As we drove down into Memphis
The sky turned hard and black
Up over the hill came a white Cadillac
They'd drawn out all his money
And laid him in the back
A woman cried from the roadside
"Johnny, Johnny, please come back!"
[Verse 4]
Well, they found him slumped back
Against the drain
With a whole lotta trouble
Running through his veins
[Outro]
Bye bye, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, bye bye
You didn't have to die
You didn't have to die
Written by: Bruce Springsteen, Chuck Berry
