Memphis Bound Blues

[Verse 1]
You got your grip to leave me, you're going to leave your home today
You got your grip to leave me, you’re going to leave your home today
Just [drop/stop] it for a minute and listen to what I've got to say

[Verse 2]
You can fly up high, you can spread your feathers all around
You can fly up high, you can spread your feathers all around
But when you get in trouble, you got to fall back to the ground

[Verse 3]
Some folks born with riches, some folks born with pain
Some folks born with riches, some folks born with pain
But I'm here to tell you, when you leave, we all leave thе same

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I talk because I’m stubborn, I sing bеcause I'm free
I talk because I'm stubborn, I sing because I'm free
My man has gone and left me, bound for Memphis, Tennessee
