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 Fellow 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
