[G]He said:
Son my name [C]is Boregard Rippy
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi
[D]I write songs that'll sing like a bird
I play [G]licks on my guitar
Like you ain't never heard

[Verse 2]
But I'm [G]down on my luck
And things are just a little slack
I gotta [C]quarter in my pocket
And a shirt on my back
You [D]buy me some supper
And give me a place I can sleep
He said: I'll [G]sing you some songs
That'll rock your head to sleep
I got tal[C]ent boy
Said [D]back home they call me

[Verse 3]
Well, I [Ab]knew I was in a room
With some kind of a nut
When [C#]he pulled out that pack
Of used cigarette butts

[Verse 4]
So [Eb]that's when I told him
"We can't use you today"
So I [Ab]handed the boy a dollar
And sent him on his way

[Verse 5]
Well, the [Ab]boss got back
And we both had a laugh
When I [C#]told him
'Bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash
And [Eb]pretty soon I had the
story circling around
About this [Ab]Mississippi nut
That we had in our town

[Verse 6]
I said, [C#]Watch
him everybody
The [Eb]boy's squirrely
He walks around calling himself

Well, [A]it happened one day
While I was driving to my home
I just [D]happened to have my car radio on
When I [E]heard the jockey raving about
A brand new smash
By [A]a kid called

[Verse 8]
The Tupelo Mississippi Flash
[D]I almost wrecked my automobile
I went [E]through a red light
I hit the traf[A]fic cop

[Verse 9]
[A]
Well, my story's got an ending
And it's short and sweet
[D]The boss man he fired me
And left me out in the street
[A]But I got a [E]new job now
And I'm as learnin' real fast
[D]I'm [A]drivin' the bus

[Verse 10]
For the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

I'm driving that for him too
[E]And that yacht he's got
And is [A]there a plane??
Well, [D]chauffeur, show good I always say
[E]Tupelo Mississippi,
who ever [A]heard [D]of it
