Well I caught me a train and I went down to Memphis
There was a railroad bull a waitin' in the yard for me
He asked me where I's from and I said Texas
And he said now you're a guest of Tennessee
So he loaded me up and they took me down to the station
And he told that judge to throw the book at me
After thirty long days of cleanin' up the streets in Memphis
That judge has made a Texan outta me
So when I get out I'm goin' back to Texas
I don't want me no part of Tennessee
After thirty long days of cleanin' up the streets in Memphis
That judge has made a Texan outta me
Well I've rode freight trains from Texas to California
And I never had nothin' like this to happen before
After thirty long days of cleanin' up the streets in Memphis
I ain't never goin' back to Memphis anymore
Cause when I get out I'm goin' back to Texas
I don't want me no part of Tennessee
**** Key Change on video capo 5 or sharp chords below ****
After thirty long days of cleanin' up the streets in Memphis
That judge has made a Texan outta me
Oh that judge had made a Texan outta me
Yeah that judge had made a Texan outta me
Oh that judge had made a Texan outta me
