Memphis Blues |
Folks, I’ve just been down, down to Memphis Town |
That’s where the people smile, smile on you all the while |
Hospitality, they were good to me |
I couldn’t spend a dime and had the grandest time |
I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear |
They had a fellow named Handy with a band you should hear |
And while the folks gently swayed |
All them boys began to play in real harmony |
I never will forget that tune they call |
Handy’s Memphis Blues, oh yes, those blues |
They’ve got a trumpet man leading the band |
And folks, he sure blow some horn |
And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon |
It moans just like a sinner on revival day |
That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain |
Is like a morning sorrow song |
Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart |
It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again, those Memphis Blues |
