The Memphis Blues (1940) - Dinah Shore/Orchestra

Lyrics by：George A. Norton

Composed by：W. C. Handy

Honey I've been down down in Memphis town

Where the people smile on you all the while

Hospitality they were good to me

Couldn't spend a dime

Had the grandest time

I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear

A fellow there named

Handy had a band you should hear

While they gently swayed all them darkies played

Real harmony

I never will forget the tune that Handy called the

Memphis Blues

They've got a fiddler

There that always slickens his hair

Oh Lordy how he pulls on his bow

When you hear that tune

Listen to the trombones croon

Oh they moan just like a sinner on Revival Day

That melancholy strain

Oh that ever-haunting refrain

It's like a darkie moan in a song

Here it comes there there apart

Wraps a spell around my heart

It sets me wild

To hear that love and tune again

That melancholy strain

Oh that ever-haunting refrain

It's like a darkie moan in a song

Here it comes a there apart

Wraps a spell around my heart

It sets me wild

To hear that love and tune again

Those Memphis Blues
