Memphis Man
Down home
A little cabin
And a soft
Little rabbit
I’m weeping and I’m grievin',
And I’ve found, oh, so even.
Memphis Man comes knockin' at the door
Knocked like nobody ever knocked before
If you know why, you should let him in
'Cause he’s so different when loving begins
Memphis Man
The lovingest man I know
Loves you like you’ve never been loved before
Love you while he’s talking, love you while he sings
Biggest eyes and hands and a few other things
If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man
Why, a Memphis Man knows more about lovin’than the rest
He loves you just where it feels the best;
Love you when he’s working, love you when he plays
He could write a book on his loving ways
If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man
