When my number's up, when the curtain falls
When the Man upstairs says it's time for last call
I got one request before I hit the road
You got to put me down in Memphis when I go

When the chariot comes swinging low
I'm gonna hitch a ride right outside on that running board
St. Peter play some delta blues on the radio
And put me down in Memphis when I go

You got to put me down in Memphis when I go
Right next to the King of Rock 'n Roll
When I lay my burden down I wanna be on hallowed ground
You got to put me down in Memphis when I go

Let's go

Just pick-a my guitar and play Blue Suede Shoes
Heartbreak Hotel, now honey Don't Be Cruel
Don't get All Shook Up and Shake, Rattle And Roll
And put down in Memphis when I go

You got to put me down in Memphis when I go
Right next to the King of Rock 'n Roll
When I lay my burden down I wanna be on hallowed ground
You gotta put me down in Memphis
Put me down in Memphis, Lord
Put me down in Memphis when I go
When I go
