Memphis Blues

Memphis Blues - Dinah Shore

Written by：W. C. Handy/George Norton

Honey I've been down

Down to Memphis town

Where the people smile

On you all the while

Hospitality

They were good to me

I couldn't spend a dime

I 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 those people played man they really swayed

The 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

O Lordy how he pours on his bowl

And when you hear the two

Listen to the Trombones croon

It sound just like a Sinner on Revival Day

That melancholy strain

That ever haunting refrain

It really set you morning sorrow song

Here comes the very part

That wraps spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again

Those memphis blues

That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain

It really set you morning sorrow song

Here comes the very part

That wraps spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again

Those memphis blues
