If the Soledad Brothers are covering the old Townes VanZandt song, here ya go: Goin' Down to Memphis Goin' down to Memphis maybe get my ashes hauled I can drive me a car but I don't need no car at all I beleive I'll ride that Memphis cannon ball She runs so fast you can't catch her from behind ah, she runs so fast you can't catch her from behind but I'll be there waitin' for that little Memphis girl of mine Why I left guess I'll never know Why I left man, I guess I'll never know sittin' here thinkin' I'm one dumb-ass so and so I'm headed back that Memphis train she leaves real soon the Memphis train sound like she leaves real soon got nothin' to guide me 'cept the color of the moon hangin' over Memphis Headed down where the Mississippi runs boys I'm headed home back where the Mississippi runs I hear there's some lovin' there try to get me some Headed down to Memphis maybe get my ashes hauled just don't know why I ever left at all I'm gettin' on that train, man, I ain't even gonna call be there 'fore the break of day

Does anyone have the lyrics to Goin' Down to Memphis, or know where to get them?

Yeah i saw the medley on Conan and it was awesome. Jack White really gets into his music. The best part was when he took off his guitar and played it on Conan's desk. He is probably the best guitarist today. I didn't get to see the other performances but the one i saw was awesome!!!

I haven't found the medley yet, but I do have an MP3 of a live performance of John the Revelator. I'll send it to you if you email me.

I've been looking all over for the song they did on Conan... thank you guys for knowing the answer. NOW, have they recorded this medley? Where can I land a copy of it? Thanks!

ooh, sorry... it was actually a three part medley... they also did the song "John the Revelator", orginally Son House.

IT was a medley of "Let's Build a Home" and "Goin' Down to Memphis" (a cover from fellow Detroit rockers, the Soledad Brothers). The White Stripes are easily one of the best rock bands around.

The song TWS played on Conan's Friday show was "Let's Build a Home" from the album "De Stijl"

Ya know, I don't know what it was. Jim Treacher said it was something old, so I'm gonna listen to all their albums till I find it.

Does anybody know what song they played at the end of the Conan show on Friday?? I have been stuck in school oblivion all semester, and to be honest that was the first time I heard them.
