The Memphis Blues Lyrics

The Memphis Blues - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特郎)

Written by:Norton/Handy

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 a dime

And had the grandest time

 

I went out a dancing

 

With a Tennessee dear

 

They had a fella there named Handy

With a band you should hear

And while the folks gently swayed

All them boys began to play in real harmony

 

I never will forget that tune they call

Handy's Memphis Blues oh yes those blues

 

They've got a trumpet man leading the band

 

And folks he sure blow some horn

 

And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon

 

It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day

 

That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain

 

Is like a morning sorrow song

 

Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart

 

 

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again those Memphis Blues
