Tupelo Mississippi Flash - Tom Jones[00:00:00]
He said[00:00:09]
Son my name is boregard rippy[00:00:10]
I come to you from tupelo Mississippi[00:00:13]
I write songs that'll sing like a bird[00:00:17]
I play licks on my guitar[00:00:19]
Like you ain't never heard[00:00:21]
But I'm down on my luck[00:00:22]
And things are just a little slack[00:00:23]
I gotta quarter in my pocket[00:00:25]
And a shirt on my back[00:00:27]
You buy me some supper[00:00:29]
And give me a place I can sleep[00:00:30]
I'll sing you some songs[00:00:32]
That'll rock your head on the beg[00:00:33]
I got talent boy[00:00:35]
Said back home[00:00:38]
That home me that tupelo Mississippi flash[00:00:39]
Yeah[00:00:44]
Well I knew I was in a room[00:00:54]
With some kind of a nut[00:00:56]
When he pulled out that pack[00:00:57]
Of used cigarette butts[00:00:58]
So that's when I told him[00:01:01]
We can't use you today[00:01:02]
So I handed the boy a dollar[00:01:03]
And sent him on his way[00:01:05]
Well the boss got back[00:01:07]
And we both had a laugh[00:01:08]
When I told him[00:01:10]
'bout the tupelo Mississippi flash[00:01:11]
And pretty soon I had the story circling around[00:01:13]
About this Mississippi nut[00:01:16]
That we have enough[00:01:18]
Time[00:01:19]
I said[00:01:19]
Watch him everybody[00:01:20]
The boy's squirrelly[00:01:21]
He walks around calling himself[00:01:23]
The tupelo Mississippi flash[00:01:25]
Woaahh[00:01:33]
Well it happened one day[00:01:39]
While I was driving to my home[00:01:40]
I just happened to have the car radio on[00:01:42]
When I heard the pocket raving about[00:01:46]
A brand new smash[00:01:47]
By a kid called[00:01:48]
The tupelo Mississippi flash[00:01:49]
Almost wrecked my automobile[00:01:52]
I went through red light[00:01:55]
I hit the traffic cop[00:01:58]
Well my story's got an ending[00:02:01]
And it's short and sweet[00:02:03]
You know the boss man he fired me[00:02:05]
And left me out in the street[00:02:06]
But I got a new job now[00:02:08]
And I'm as learnin' real fast[00:02:09]
I'm drivin' the bus[00:02:11]
For the tupelo Mississippi flash[00:02:13]
Oh and his the cadillac[00:02:17]
I'm driving that for him too[00:02:18]
And that yacht he's got[00:02:21]
Admit It's a air plane[00:02:24]
Oh chauffeur show good I always say[00:02:27]
Tupelo Mississippi who ever heard of it[00:02:31]
Oh I don't kill the burn[00:02:35]
Every Somebody[00:02:38]
