I am going
Down the long lonesome road to Memphis
And I [bad word] 
From the valley of the damned to Memphis

My love has gone 
With the devil to the well of poison
But I declare, 
I drank my fill from that well of poison

The lord's going to save my soul,
Somewhere in the hills of Memphis
And the lord's going to rest my bones,
Somewhere in the hills of Memphis
