How you're so pure as you are
How softly you whispered in my ear
He said he loved me, he said he cared
He said he wanted me
Oh, he left that night on a train to Memphis
Oh, he took his luggage out and then he packed the cars
He took everything from me, but not my heart
He took everything, oh, but not the cards
I feel like a joker, I feel like I'm losing my mind
As he softly whispers in my ear
It's over, it's over, don't cry
As I lay here wondering why
Oh, don't you cry
He packed the keys off the house
He didn't know what to do
So he left that night
I remember hiding in the field
I remember looking up to the sky
I remember closing the door
I remember looking back at you
He took a train to Memphis
