| I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime
|
| I thought that big old city would ease my Georgia mind
|
| After just one hour, I met a Southern girl
|
| She said they call me the Queen of Memphis
|
| And then she took me around the world
|
| I saw stars dancing on the water
|
| I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
|
| That old muddy river was my witness
|
| The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis
|
| I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms
|
| She showed me things I’d never seen back there on that farm
|
| She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams
|
| A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen
|
| Just like that old man river she keeps rolling through my mind
|
| And you know I won’t forget her 'cause she was one of a kind |
