That's How I Got to Memphis - Whitey Morgan and the 78's

If you love somebody enough

You’ll follow wherever they go

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

I haven’t eaten a bite

It’s been three long days and nights

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

If you see her, please tell me, now won’t you tell me, my friend

I’ve got to find her to find out this trouble she’s in, again

And if you find out she ain’t here, boy you can follow the trail of my tears

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

She’d get mad and she used to say

Boy, I’m goin' to go back to Memphis someday

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

Thank you for your precious time

Aw, but forgive me if I start to cryin'

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

I’ve got to find her and tell her how I love her so

I will not rest till I find out why she had to go

And if you love somebody enough, just go where your heart wants to go

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis

That’s how I got to Memphis
