Get me to Kansas City
And I'll make Memphis on my own
Man, ain't you got no pity
You know my baby's all alone
Say Mister Station Agent
A one way ticket if you please
If I can get to see my baby
Then I can put my mind at ease
Why oh why ever did I leave Tennessee
My oh my lucky am I
I know my baby's waiting for me
Don't let me down my good friend
I know your heart ain't made of stone
Get me to Kansas City
And I can make Memphis on my own
