She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
  And put her little boy on a Greyhound Bus
  Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
  On a one-way ticket to the promised land
  Hey little girl with the red dress on
  There's party tonight down in Memphis down
  I'll be going down there if you need a ride
  The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died
    We drove down into Memphis, the sky was hard and black
  Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac
  They'd drawn out all his money and they laid him in the back
  A woman cried from the roadside "Ah he's gone, he's gone"
  They found him slumped up against the drain
  With a whole lot of trouble running through his veins
  Bye-bye Johnny
  Johnny bye-bye
  You didn't have to die
  You didn't have to die
