Tupelo - Jackie Greene

Someone told him about the gambler

Someone told him how the money flow

Someone told him about the midnight creeper

Someone told him about Tupelo

Someone told him about the women

Someone told him about the things they know

I bet no one ever told him

About the devil down in Tupelo

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down there no mo'

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down to Tupelo

Someone told him about the cocaine

Someone told him about the powdered snow

Someone told him you could drink fine liquor

Find a friend down in tupelo

Someone told him about the bright lights

Someone told him about the cheap peep show

Bet nobody ever told him

About the hard times down in Tupelo

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down there no mo'

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down to Tupelo

It ain’t fair

It ain’t fair

You can moan all you like

But the devil don’t care

You can runaway

Runaway but the devil knows you’ll be back someday

It ain’t none of my business

Son I hate to see you fall so low

I’m only tryin' to give fair warnin'

About the devil down in Tupelo

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down there no mo'

Tupelo

Tupelo

I ain’t goin' down to Tupelo
