Lyrics I´ve Never Been To Memphis - Billie Ray Martin
Eh-hee,
oh-hoh,
well
I
saw
my
face
in
the
paper
today
It
said
hello
to
the
face
that
i
saw
at
home
[Then]
I
read
a
tale
of
a
girl
with
my
name
It
was
not
the
one
that
I
know,
no
You
shook
my
hand
and
you
said
you
understand
And
you
said
that
you
know
where
I'm
coming
from
But
the
only
place
that
I've
ever
been
Is
far,
far
from
known
What
you
say
about
me
Stabs
me
in
the
heart
What
you
read
about
me
is
a
shot
in
the
dark
(yeah)
I've
never
been
to
Memphis
I've
never
seen
my
good-luck
star
I've
never
seen
Las
Vegas
lights
Laughing
at
the
dark
I've
never
dragged
the
train
of
my
dress
Down
Elvis
Presley
Boulevard
I've
never
been
to
Memphis
Cross
my
heart,
hm
I
want
to
see
my
name
in
neon
lights
Cause
the
words
that
you
write
they
don't
last,
my
friends
They
only
shine
a
day
at
a
time
And
leave
stains
on
my
hands,
well
So
what's
the
use
in
rolling
the
dice
w
Hen
you
already
know
how
it's
gonna
fall
You
think
that
if
you
play
your
cards
right
You
might
deal
with
us
all
What're
gonna
do
When
a
seven
falls
Will
the
rolling
thunder
scatter
all
of
your
cards
I've
never
been
to
Memphis,
no
I've
never
seen
my
good-luck
star
I've
never
seen
Las
Vegas
lights
Laughing
at
the
dark
I've
never
dragged
the
train
of
my
dress
Down
Elvis
Presley
Boulevard
I've
never
been
to
Memphis
Cross
my
heart,
cross
my
heart
[Guitar
solo]
Ooh
yes
Believe
me
(hm)
I've
never
been
to
Memphis,
no
no
I've
never
seen
my
good-luck
star,
baby
I
wanna
see
Las
Vegas
lights,
yeah
Laughing
at
the
dark
I've
never
dragged
the
train
of
my
dress
Down
Elvis
Presley
Boulevard
I've
never
been
to
Memphis
Cross
my
heart,
cross
my
heart
I've
never
been
to
Memphis,
no
no
no
I've
never
seen
my
good-luck
star,
yeah
I've
never
seen
Las
Vegas
lights,

Laughing
at
the
dark
I've
never
dragged
the
train
of
my
dress
Down
Elvis
Presley
Boulevard

I've
never
been
to
Memphis
Cross
my
heart,

I've
never
seen
my
good-luck
star
(no
no)
I've
never
seen
Las
Vegas
lights,
yeah
Laughing
at
the
dark
I've
never
dragged
a
train
of
my
dress
Through
the
Nevada
desert
sand
I've
never
been
to
Memphis
Raise
my
hand,
raise
my
hand,
baby,
yeah
[Adlibbing
until
end:]
Tell
it
how
it
is,
c'mon
on
Whoo!
Cross
my
heart
[Laughter]
Whow!
that's
the
one
- that
was
the
one
