Lowdown

Lowdown lived down in Memphis town
Walked in the street from up and down
Lowdown had him a place downtown
Where the women would come from miles around
Said lowdown wanna dance for a while
He said with a smile, shakes his can all the while
Lowdown called him sweetie pie, they called him naughty guy
They called him all the time
Said
Never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
I'm never gonna see my home again
Lowdown he liked to dress up fine
Wore a suit and tie, mama, all the time
Lowdown liked his shoes shined right
Every night when he'd get tight
Lowdown drank pints of wine
Whiskey straight, mama, all the time
Lowdown woke up at noon
Walked up the saloon, he hit the saloon
He said
Lowdown never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
I'm never gonna see my home again
Lowdown had him an oldsmobile
Had the big mac wheels, had a bad man's steel
Lowdown took that car for a ride
Took his inside, caused his face to hide
Lowdown was a gamblin' man
Got his right hand and his gun in his lap
Lowdown took my money away
Took it to the king's highway
Said
Lowdown never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
I'm never gonna see my home again
Lowdown they found him about an hour
From Memphis town, he was dead on the ground
Lowdown had no family, had no used-to-be
Had no baby to see
Lowdown had no automatic
And a Cadillac, but he dressed in black
Lowdown they buried about an hour
From Memphis town, there was no one around
Said
Lowdown never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
Never gonna see my home again
I'm never gonna see my home again
