| Tupelo Mississippi | |
| Flash I’m gonna tell you a story that’s all about | |
| This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm. | |
| 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. | |
| Well, he walks in my office with a great big grin, | |
| And folks that’s where my story really begins. | |
| He said, “ | |
| Son my name is | |
| Boregard Rippy. | |
| I come to you from | |
| Tupelo Mississippi. | |
| I write songs that’ll sing like a bird, | |
| I play licks on my guitar like you ain’t never heard. | |
| But I’m down on my luck and things are just a little slack. | |
| I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back. | |
| But you buy me some supper and give me a place | |
| I can sleep | |
| He said “I’ll sing you some songs that’ll rock your head to sleep. | |
| 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 sent him on his way | |
| Well 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 circling around | |
| About this | |
| Mississippi nut that we had in our town. | |
| I said, “watch him everybody, the boy’s squirrelly! | |
| He walks around calling himself the | |
| Tupelo Mississippi | |
| Flash.” Well it happened one day while | |
| I was driving to my home | |
| I just happened to have my car radio on. | |
| When I heard the jockey raving about a brand new smash | |
| By a kid called the | |
| Tupelo Mississippi | |
| Flash I almost wrecked my automobile | |
| I went through a red light | |
| I hit the traffic cop.... | |
| Why?? Well 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 as learnin’ real fast | |
| I’m drivin’ the bus for the | |
| Tupelo Mississippi | |
| Flash And his | |
| Cadillac I’m driving that for him too | |
| And that yacht he’s got. | |
| And is there a plane?? | |
| Well chauffeur, show good | |
| I always say | |
| Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it........... |
