Boy From Tupelo Lyrics - Hickory Wind - Emmylou Harris

You don't love me this I know 

Don't need a bible to tell me so 

I hung around a little too long 

I was good but now I'm gone. 

Like the buffalo 

That boy from Tupelo 

Any way the wind can blow 

That's where I'm gonna go 

I'll be gone like a five and dime 

It'll be the perfect crime 

Just ask the boy from Tupelo 

He's the king and he oughta know.

The shoulder I've been leanin on 

Is the coldest place I've ever known 

There's nothin left for me round here 

Looks like it's time to disapear. 

Like the buffalo 

That boy from Tupelo 

The old wall down in Jericho 

Maybelle on the radio 

I'll be gone like the five and dime 

It'll be the perfect crime 

Just ask the boy from Tupelo 

He's the king and he oughta know. 

You don't love me, this I know 

Don't need a bible to tell me so 

It's a shame and it's a sin 

Everything I coulda been to you.

Your last chance Texaco 

Your sweetheart of the rodeo 

A juliet to your romeo 

The border you cross into Mexico 

I'll never understand why or how 

Oh, but baby its too late now 

Just ask the boy from Tupelo 

He's the king and he oughta know...
