Lyrics:
I was born in Memphis on the wrong side of townWay back up in the projectsWe didn't have much bet there was music all aroundThat was something we could respectMemphis got the rythm Memphis got the soulAnd you know that's a good signIt's the home of Elvis, he's the king of rock & rollAnd everybody had a good timeWillie's on the corner with his dancing shoesPerry's in the alley cooking barbequeBB's down on Beale Street and he's singing the bluesEverybody is alrightAin't nobody uptightDancing in the moonlightMuddy Mississippi roll onOld man river keeps on playing his songIt'll get your fingers snappingThe first thing you know you're kinda grooving alongAnd your feet will start to tappingHave you ever been to Memphis on a Saturday nightWhen everything is cookingThe whole town's rocking the music is hot and the girls are all good lookingThe mighty Mississippi is muddy and wideBut there's people driving over from the Arkansas sideGet on out amongst us and we'll go for a rideHanging on the sidewalkTalking all that jive talkNothing but a nighthawkMuddy Mississippi roll on
