Memphis Women and Chicken (Album Version)

Memphis Woman And Chicken - Dan Penn

I see the sand Memphis 25 mouth

No one would like this

I'm heading into Memphis Memphis Tennessee

It's one place in this world

I can get something good to eat

I'm hungry for some loving and some fried chicken

That goes down greasy finger licking

I know just where to go there's this woman I know

She shakes it up right let it simmer real slow

Memphis women and fried chicken

Memphis women and fried chicken

Over on union there's a good old gal

She can smoke a pig she can fry some fowl

She got biscuits in her oven cornbread in the pan

I get by to see her every chance I can

I catch a whiff when I turn the corner

My mouth starts to water and I'm a goner

For the Memphis women and fried chicken

Memphis women and chicken

Yeah I take my old guitar and I go down on Beasley

Play some good blues and get a real good meal

I don't care if the whiskey ever hits my lips

As long as I get a taste of them bar b que ribs

Now there's a woman up on the bluff make her living making pies

Got chocolate covered fingers and dark blueberry eyes

Got that light powdered sugar sprinkled all in her hair

Her apple turnover is beyond compare

When it's hot late and sticky and you want something cool and sweet

She keeps the handle cranking on that homemade ice cream

Memphis women and good fried chicken

Memphis women and chicken

Yeah there's a thing about Memphis

Every time I come down here it speaks to my sense

You got some to do with it

They got that fried chicken

They got that fried chicken

They got that fried chicken

They got that fried chicken

Now I'm in Memphis fried chicken

Bar b que too

Oh yeah yes

Ohhh

Ohhh
