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
