The Rose Of Memphis |
I drove all the way from Storyville on a midnight Memphis run |
From Bourbon Street to Beale Street straight up Highway 61 |
I was tuned in on radio maybe ten miles out of town |
When I heard the rose of Memphis boys that’s when I left the ground |
I can’t go back to Storyville way down there by the sea |
Till I can say I got the rose of Memphis coming home with me |
She wrapped her song around my heart just like the Kudzu vine |
That keeps on growing after dark straight up some lonesome pine |
I’ve got to find that woman now cause my life ain’t complete |
Man there ain’t nobody out there got the rose of Memphis beat |
I can’t go back to New Orleans that ol' crescent city town |
Till I can say I got the rose of Memphis coming on the rounds |
Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis |
Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis |
I love the rose of Memphis man she sings just like a bird |
I swear she makes the sweetest sound I think I ever heard |
She was born down by the river that ol' river’s in her soul |
Man they can’t nobody touch her when the rose is on a roll |
I can’t get go back to Louisiana by the Gulf of Mexico |
Till I can say I’ve got the rose of Memphis coming home to show |
Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis |
Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis |
