merle travis - memphis blues lyrics
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 h-rn
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
