If I am rich, if I am strong… If I am lonely, if I am wrong

One thing is sure I’m going downtown…down to my grave

If I am black, if I am kind… If I am angry, if I am blind

One thing is sure I’m going downtown…down to my grave

If I in Memphis, if I can swing…

If I am the preacher, if I am the King

One thing is sure I’m going downtown…down to my grave

So sister, hold my hand, and brother pray, pray if you can

Lord Jesus help me over the great divide

To live with You on the other side
