Ethel Waters - Tell 'Em About Me lyrics

At the railroad station My heart was filled with pain My best pal, his best gal Got tickets for the evening train! While thinkin' of Mammy and old Uncle Ned As I stepped to the gate, I said: Tell 'em about me, brown baby When you reach Tennessee In the town where I'm longing to be More than few hungry hearts Longing for those southern parts Wish they had what it takes to go home! Every chick, every child Greets you with a welcome smile So in the wake of your good times, think of me! 'Cause what goes up must come down Soon I'll be Dixie-bound When you reach Tennessee Tell 'em about me! What goes up must come down Soon I'll be Dixie-bound When you reach Tennessee Tell 'em about me
