the two room shotgun house
the folks could hear her howls
the cotton bed sheets blood
love me tender like what keeps you well
my voice is back home while i'm in hell
who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me
she swayed like the trees
reach out with my hand to these sidewalk crowds
love me tender like what keeps you well
my voice is back home while i'm in hell
who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me
she swayed like the trees
the memphis sun still shone
tupelo's air still filled my lungs
just bring me with you love
love me tender like what keeps you well
my voice is back home while i'm in hell
who's the ol' slew foot who took you from me
