I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about[00:00:00]

This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm.[00:00:03]

I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town[00:00:07]

The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around.[00:00:10]

Well, he walks in my office with a great big grin,[00:00:15]

And folks that's where my story really begins.[00:00:19]

He said, 'Son my name is Boregard Rippy.[00:00:27]

I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi.[00:00:30]

I write songs that'll sing like a bird,[00:00:33]

I play licks on my guitar like you ain't never heard.[00:00:35]

But I'm down on my luck and things are just a little slack.[00:00:38]

I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back.[00:00:42]

But you buy me some supper and give me a place I can sleep[00:00:45]

He said 'I'll sing you some songs that'll rock your head to sleep.[00:00:48]

I got talent boy. Said back home they call me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash[00:00:52]

Well I knew I was in a room with some kind of a nut[00:01:08]

When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts.[00:01:11]

So that's when I told him 'We can't use you today'[00:01:14]

So I handed the boy a dollar and sent him on his way[00:01:17]

Well the boss got back and we both had a laugh[00:01:20]

When I told him 'bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash[00:01:23]

And pretty soon I had the story circling around[00:01:25]

About this Mississippi nut that we had in our town.[00:01:28]

I said, 'watch him everybody, the boy's squirrelly![00:01:31]

He walks around calling himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.'[00:01:34]

Well it happened one day while I was driving to my home[00:01:49]

I just happened to have my car radio on.[00:01:52]

When I heard the jockey raving about a brand new smash[00:01:55]

By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash[00:01:58]

I almost wrecked my automobile[00:02:01]

I went through a red light[00:02:03]

I hit the traffic cop....Why??[00:02:06]

Well my story's got an ending and it's short and sweet[00:02:09]

The boss man he fired me and left me out in the street[00:02:12]

But I got a new job now and I'm as learnin' real fast[00:02:16]

I'm drivin' the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash[00:02:19]

And his Cadillac I'm driving that for him too[00:02:24]

And that yacht he's got.[00:02:27]

And is there a plane??[00:02:30]

Well chauffeur, chauffeur I hear him say[00:02:32]

Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it...........[00:02:35]
