Memphis Blues - Nat King Cole
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 the dime
And had the grandest time
I went out a dancing
With a tennessee dear
They had a fellow there named handy
With a band you should hear
And while the
Dancers gently swayed
All the band boys played
Real
Harmony
I never will forget
The tune that handy called the Memphis blues
Oh they got a fiddler there
That always slickens his hair
And folks he sure does pull some bow
And when the big bassoon
Seconds to the trombones
Croon
It moans just like
A sinner
On revival day
On revival day
That melancholy strain
That ever haunting refrain
Is like a morning sorrow song
Here comes the very part
That wraps is spell around my heart
It sets me wild
To hear that lovin' tune again
The Memphis blues
That melancholy strain
That ever haunting refrain
Is like a morning sorrow song
Here comes the very part
That wraps is spell around my heart
It sets me wild
To hear that lovin' tune again
The Memphis blues
It sets me wild
To hear that lovin' Memphis
Blues
