Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The two-room shotgun house
The folks could hear her howl
The cotton bed sheets, blood, and my son
One less, when it's all done
[Verse 2]
Oh, love me tender like what keeps you right
My voice is back home while I'm in Hell
Who's the old slew foot who took you from me?
Cried, oh, Private Presley, she swayed like the trees
[Verse 3]
The bus line, people shout
Reach out with my hand to these sidewalk crowds
All of these faces, you can't see with me
Just wanna go home, my river winds breeze
[Verse 4]
Oh, love me tender like what keeps you well
My voice is back home while I'm in Hell
Who's the old slew foot who took you from me?
Cried, oh, Private Presley, she swayed like the trees
[Verse 5]
The Memphis sun still shone
Tupelo's air still filled my lungs
Alone except my songs, you're gone
Just bring me with you, love
[Verse 6]
Oh, love me tender like what keeps you well
My voice is back home while I'm in Hell
Who's the old slew foot who took you from me?
Cried, oh, Private Presley, she swayed like the trees
