	Story Behind the Song Not being very fond of Memphis it was an interesting city to tackle in the Volunteer State line-up. Decidedly blues, the first version was played on electric guitar and sung in a delta blues falsetto. Although highly laughable, the first version was too much to bear and so it was replaced with real vocals and minimal guitar. Now it stands as a song based on the blues instead of a song giving the blues the finger. Lyrics Waitin'by the Mississippi, yeah waiting for you Waitin' by the Mississippi, yeah I'm waiting for you Don't think you're gonna show up maybe because I never asked you to. Mama, I told you that I loved you it didn't do no good Mama, I told you that I loved you it didn't do no good but I knew what it would do baby, yes I knew what it would Took a train down to Memphis or maybe it was a Greyhound took a train down to Memphis or maybe I rode a Greyhound I been here three days drunker than a rodeo clown Dr. King was shot here, the King lived here too Dr. King was shot here another King's palace is too why I decided to come here...
