If you love somebody enough You'll follow wherever they go That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis And if you love somebody enough That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me cause you are my friend If you tell me she's not here You can follow the trail of my tears That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis She'd get mad and she used to say She'd come back to Memphis someday But that's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis And I haven't eaten a bite I know her slept for three days and nights That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis I've got to find her and tell her That I love her so I'll never rest till I find out So thank you for your precious time Forgive me if I start to cry But I got to Memphis But I got to Memphis But I got to Memphis But I got to Memphis Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Give me another song.
14:22
All right.
14:23
I want another.

The Mermaid.
14:24
Is this Mermaid? Yeah, it's a song about a guy who everybody knows how much I love to fish.
14:30
Well, this is about a guy who fell in love with a fish.

Well, how'd you end up in California? Was it because of the service?
6:26
I was working a beer joint, that's what they called them back in Ohio.
6:31
I was working a beer joint called Stone's Bar and Grill.
6:36
And some guy came in, in the beer joint, and he was a big talker from California, had on a nudie jacket, and California plates on his car, which was an old red convertible, where the plastic shield in the back window was out, and he said, any of you boys want to go to California? And I said, I do.
7:19
And my bass player couldn't go.
7:22
He was married and had kids.
7:25
But my steel guitar player said, I'll go.
