Bring It on Home to Memphis |
| Sweet Lucinda |
| Look out your window |
| LA freeway just like the man said |
| People honking their horns |
| Pointing guns at your head |
| Sweet Lucinda |
| In a land of cotton |
| You’re not forgotten |
| The Mississippi River just rolls on through |
| And everybody’s wondering what happened to you |
| In the land of cotton |
| Down on the delta |
| Remember your soul |
| We’re waiting just to welcome you back to the fold |
| Tomorrow comes early |
| You better get humming |
| The whole damn town is gonna know that you’re coming |
| Bring it on home to Memphis… |
| Bring it on home and give us a thrill |
| Bring it on home honey send me the bill |
| Bring it on home to Memphis… |
| Beale Street was jumping the day you were born |
| W.C. |
| Handy was blowing his horn |
| From the bluffs to Mud Island |
| The music grew quiet |
| Mystery train put a hush on the night |
| Fireflies made light of the hot summer breeze |
| And the wind was a whisper through the tops of the trees |
| Rain started falling |
| The river grew lazy |
| Bring it on home child you’re making us crazy |
| We’ve got hot buttered biscuits |
| Dewberry pie |
| White-flour gravy |
| In an endless supply |
| Cucumber salad right out of the ground |
| And cold soda water just to wash it all down |
| But down on the Delta |
| Where cotton is king |
| We only want to treat you like a homecoming queen |
| Tomorrow comes early |
| It’s never too late |
| The whole damn town is gonna open the gate |
| Bring it on home to Memphis… |
| Bring it on home |
| We want to be good |
| Bring it on home t the whole neighborhood |
| Bring it on home to Memphis… |
