Lyrics

Lowdown lived down in Memphis town
Walking them streets, up and down
Lowdown he had a place downtown
Where women would come from miles around
And say “Lowdown won’t you dance for awhile”
They’d shake their cans all the while
Lowdown they called him sweetie pie
They called him naughty guy
They called him all the time
I’m never gonna see my home again
Lowdown he liked to dress up fine
He wore his suit and tie
All the time
Lowdown liked his shoes shined right
Every night when he’d get tight
Lowdown he woke up at noon
Walked off the swoon
And hit the saloon
I’m never gonna see my home again
Lowdown had him an Oldsmobile
Had the big mag wheels
Had a bad main seal
Lowdown he was a gamblin man
His cards in his right hand
And his gun in his lap
Lowdown took his friends’ money away
He took that eighty-eight
He took the King’s Highway
I’m never gonna see my home again
Lowdown they found his body now
Far from Memphis town
He was dead on the ground
Lowdown had no family
Had no used-to-be
Had no babies three
Lowdown had no old time hack
Had no Cadillac
Lowdown they buried his body now
Down in Memphis town
But there was no one around to say
I’m never gonna see my home again
