[Verse]
I've been [A]struggling up here just trying to make a living
Every[A]body wants to take and nobody likes giving
I wish [D]I was back in Memphis back home home with my mama
The only [A]clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
Yeah, no [E]brotherly love and no help and no danger
Just a [A]great big town full of cold-hearted strangers
[Verse]
I went [A]hungry in New York, Chicago was no better
But to[A]day, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
Said, [D]come home back to Memphis and live here with your mama
You can [A]walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
You know [E]folks down here, they let do just like you wanna
And I [A]born you and raised you right here on the corner

[Verse]
I'm gonna [A]get up in the morning goin' to the station
I've got [A]just enough money to reach my destination
I'm go[D]ing back to Memphis, back home to my mama
I'm gonna [A]ride that bus barefoot in my pajamas
Yeah, [E]goin' back to Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know [A]everything will be all right in the morning
