Lyrics

Memphis
I went down to Memphis
Five or six days ago
I went down there to lose some blues
I was feeling quite low
I met a woman there
Took me everywhere
And she was mighty mighty nice to me
Oh my what a lucky day
That we did chance to meet
I only was on my way
Down to old Beale street
She walked up and said how do
I said fine and how are you
She was mighty mighty nice to me
We walked and we talked
We dined then we danced
The first thing I knew
I was in a romance
I’m going back to Memphis
Just as soon as I can
I’m catching myself the next train
Got to ask for her hand
I’m sure it would brighten my life
If she would only be my wife
And still be mighty mighty nice to me
We walked then we talked
We dined and we danced
When I looked around
I was tied up in a romance
I’m going back to Memphis
Just as soon as I can
I’m catching myself the next train
Got to ask for her hand
I’m sure it would brighten my life
If she would only be my wife
And still be mighty mighty nice to me
Got those Memphis… Blues
