[Part A]
[Part B]
[Part A]
 
[Part B] I am going down the long lonesome road to Memphis
[Part B] And I have come from the valley of the damned to Memphis
 
[Part A]
 
[Part B] My love has gone with the devil to the well of poison
[Part B] But I declare I drank my fill from that well of poison
 
[Part B] (singing)
[Part A]
 
[Part B] The lord's gonna save my soul somewhere in the hills of Memphis
[Part B] And the lord's gonna rest my bones somewhere in the hills of Memphis
 
[Part A] (end with strum D)
