[00:36.12]Folks I've just been down down to Memphis town
[00:37.68]
[00:38.97]That's where the people smile smile on you all the while
[00:40.53]Hospitality they were good to me
[00:47.52]
[00:48.60]I couldn't spend a dime and had the grandest time
[00:55.92]I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear
[00:58.38]They had a fellow named Handy with a band you should hear
[01:06.51]
[01:07.29]And while the folks gently swayed
[01:08.82]
[01:09.75]All them boys began to play in real harmony
[01:13.77]
[01:14.82]I never will forget that tune they call
[01:17.91]Handy's Memphis Blues oh yes those blues
[01:24.15]They've got a trumpet man leading the band
[01:26.13]And folks he sure blow some horn
[01:27.72]
[01:33.42]And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon
[01:37.32]It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day
[01:39.63]
[01:41.16]That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain
[01:44.07]Is like a morning sorrow song
[01:47.01]Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart
[01:55.35]It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again those Memphis Blues
