Memphis, City Of Kings

Memphis, City Of Kings - George McAnthony

I'm coming all the way from Nashville drove across Tennessee

I saunter downtown Memphis the place I call the City of Kings yes I do

I take a walk on by the river the Mississippi makes me dream

If you ever come around take a ride on the Memphis Queen

There's a song in the air that lasts until the morning comes

Down on Beale street you never know if you're gonna be part of the show

Farewell my friend so long until we meet again

Cause I'm leaving Memphis heading down to New Orleans

I put a rose at the gates of Graceland remember how it all begun

And I keep on driving south on highway sixty-one

I see the cotton fields at my left the Old Man River flows at my right

From Baton Rouge I guess the Crescent City's still not in sight

There's a song in the air that lasts until the morning comes

Down on Beale street you never know if you're gonna be part of the show

Farewell my friend so long until we meet again

Cause I'm leaving Memphis heading down to New Orleans

There is B B King Martin Luther King the Memphis Queen and Elvis

He's the rock n roll king

I'll watch the ships roll in see the crocodile swim

Take a walk on Bourbon Street down in New Orleans

Let the fun begin hear the guitar swing

Your sound is your crown Memphis the the City of Kings

There is B B King Matrtin Luther King the Memphis Queen

He's the rock n roll king
