I was standin' on Beale Street
lookin' down on Maine
Lookin' for the gal that they call Livin'
An d she done moved to Kansas City
She done moved to Kansas City
She done moved now, baby now
Honey, why they don't

and sharpen three greyhounds
Two high yollas and

I was standing on the river,
Lord, looking up and down,
looking for that gal,
and that one I never found.
She had moved to Kansas City.
She had moved to Kansas City.
She had moved.
Boy, why they don't love
me.
Mississippi River, so long, deep, and wide.
I can see my good girl
on the other side.
