gonna take a train to memphis tennesee
place where i was born that is home to me
had enough of drifting  time to settle down
going back to memphis back to my home town

place i was raised with ma and family
home again once more is where i long to be
visit all my friends that i left behind
change my drifting ways to the homely kind.

settle down for good in the place i love the best
no more roaming ways put them all to rest
have  my mammas love like i did before
settle down in memphis home again once more.

with my family and friends i left behind
change my drifting ways to the homely kind
settle down for good that is home to me
in the place i love in memphis tennesee

home again to mamma and her loving way
that she gave to me every single day
had enough of drifting now its home for me
settle down for good in memphis tenneesee
