Il testo della Johnny bye bye

Well 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

Well hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in memphis town
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
A 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, "oh he's gone, he's gone"

They found him slumped up against the drain
With a whole lot of trouble, hey running through his veins
Bye-bye johnny, johnny bye-bye
You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die
