I was born in Memphis on the wrong side of town

Way back up in the projects

We didn't have much bet there was music all around

That was something we could respect

Memphis got the rythm Memphis got the soul

And you know that's a good sign

It's the home of Elvis, he's the king of rock & roll

And everybody had a good time



Willie's on the corner with his dancing shoes

Perry's in the alley cooking barbeque

BB's down on Beale Street and he's singing the blues



Everybody is alright

Ain't nobody uptight

Dancing in the moonlight

Muddy Mississippi roll on



Old man river keeps on playing his song

It'll get your fingers snapping

The first thing you know you're kinda grooving along

And your feet will start to tapping



Have you ever been to Memphis on a Saturday night

When everything is cooking

The whole town's rocking the music is hot and the girls
are all good looking



The mighty Mississippi is muddy and wide

But there's people driving over from the Arkansas side

Get on out amongst us and we'll go for a ride



Hanging on the sidewalk

Talking all that jive talk

Nothing but a nighthawk

Muddy Mississippi roll on
