Letra de Tupelo Mississippi Flash
I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about This job I had one time as a talent scout, um I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around, um Well, he walks into my office with a great big grin And folks that's where my story really beginsHe said, "Son, my name is Bodegard Rippy" I come to you from Tupelo, Mississippi I write songs and l'll sing like a bird I play licks on my guitar like you ain't never heardBut I'm down on my luck, things are just a little slack I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back But you buy me some supper, give me a place I can sleep He said, "I'll sing you some songs" That will knock your head to creak, I got talent boy" Said, "Back home they call me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash"Well, I knew I was in a room with some kind of a nut When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts So that's when I told him We can't use you today So I handed the boy a dollar and I sent him on his wayWell, the boss got back and we both had a laugh When I told him 'bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash And pretty soon I had the story circlin' around About this Mississippi nut that we had in our town I said, "Watch him everybody, the boy's squirrely" He walks around callin' himself the Tupelo Mississippi FlashWell, and it happened one day while I was drivin' to my home I just happened to have my car radio on When I heard the jockey ravin' about a brand-new smash By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash Well, I almost wrecked my automobile I went through a red light, I hit the traffic cop, whyWell, my story's got an ending, and it's short and sweet The boss man, he fired me and left me out in the street But I got a new job now, and I'm learning real fast I'm driving the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi FlashAnd his Cadillac, I'm driving that for him too And that yacht he's got, and his aero plane Well, chauffeur, so good, I always say Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it, whyI'll kill the boy Help him, somebody
