Down in Memphis
Booker T. Jones
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Doin' it in the heat Learning how to walk the beat Laying it down again Taking it on the chin Heading for the darkest club Down on Beale Street Playing that funky music Drinking that funky gin Gotta be a pistol Gotta be a gun Gotta be one strange phenomenon Down in Memphis Yeah Memphis Tennessee Memphis Tennessee Gotta see a new woman over in Klondike Ten minutes in the Thunderbird Running on the turnpike I gotta pay union dues Make me wanna to sing the blues I can't be a winner now 'Cause I'm born to lose Down in Memphis Yeah Memphis Tennessee Memphis Tennessee Down in Memphis, Memphis Yeah Doing it, doing it Gotta shine shoes Down on Fourth and Walker Out on Peggy's Patio For some sweet talker Spend your easy nights Out in Mallory Heights Living on Auction Road With no street lights Tried to find love Out in Dixie homes Look at your TV And you find Rufus and Bones Matt D. Williams Giving you a D- The man won't hear no plea Man won't play no key Down in Memphis MMM Memphis Tennessee Memphis Tennessee Down in Memphis, Memphis Yeah Memphis Tennessee Down in Memphis, Memphis, Memphis yeah Memphis, Memphis, Memphis Memphis Tennessee Memphis Tennessee Yeah Memphis Tennessee
