What Are The Lyrics For Memphis Blues By Johnny Mercer & the Pied Pipers?

Folks ive just been down, down to memphis town,
Thats where people smile at you all the while
Hospitality they were good to me
Couldn't spend a dime, mmm i had the grandest time
I went out dancing with a tennessee dear
Met a man named Andy with a band you should hear
While the people swayed all the players played real
I'm in, I never will forget the tune they call the memphis blues.

They got a fiddler there who always slickens his hair and boy he should do boys some boy
And when the big bassoon second to the tromboys croon
They mourn just like a sinner on revival cay
That melancholy strain
That ever haunting refrain
Is like a southern sorrow song
Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that lovin tune again the memphis blues

The mississippi river is long deep and wide i got myself a rowboat
Pulled it aside
And when i heart the music oh i coulda led right down the nile
Oh you shoulda heard the singing come floating out across the tide

Get out your fanciest dancing shoes, and as the lead to play the blues
The memphis, boy, i mean the memphis blues
