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
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
