Big Ball In Memphis
Georgia Yellow Hammers

Looked out at the window, what do you reckon I see
What do you reckon I see boys and what do you reckon I see
Looked out at the window, what do you reckon I see
The high sherrif is right after me

Before I'd be arrested, I'd fight him at my door
Fight him at my door boys, I'd fight him at my door
Before I'd be arrested, I'd fight him at my door
Nobody to go my bond

Yonder comes my sweetheart with a ten dollar bill
Ten dollar bill boys, ten dollar bill
Yonder comes my sweetheart with a ten dollar bill
She's going to go with me

There's a big ball in Memphis and I'm bound to go
I'm bound to go boys, I'm bound to go
There's a big ball in Memphis and I'm bound to go
Nobody to go with me

I hopped out of the window and tore down the blind
Tore down the blind boys, tore down the blind
I hopped out of the window and tore down the blind
Doggone my rowdy times
