Lyrics:
by oh my
Memphis in June
Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere
Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander
It's paradise honey
a-ticking and tocking
Everything so peaceful and dandy
I can see old Granny cross
The street still a-rocking
Watching the neighbors go by
Memphis in June
won't be in Memphis very long
Mama since I left her I've been crazy
I bet she thinks my love for her is gone
I stopped by because I thought she'd be
maybe ten miles out of town
When I heard the rose of Memphis boys that's when I left the ground
I can't go back to Storyville way down there by the sea
run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Memphis shows me
How did life just
tickin' and a-tockin'
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see old granny cross the street, still a-rockin'
Watching the neighbors go by
Memphis in June
Graceland's door
Ride the Eagle get on board
Cross the Arkansas border by midnight
Next stop Graceland's door
It's the last train to Memphis
Ride
pulls the trap lines
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge
And his phone
(CHORUS)
Meet Me In Memphis
A-ticking and a-tocking
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see your granny
'Cross the street still a rocking
Watching all the neighbors go by, oh
Memphis
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Memphis in June
A shady veranda under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And cousin Amanda is making a blueberry pie
I can hear
follow by the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
She' use to get mad and she'd say
She'd go back to Memphis
crazy
And I have to laugh
I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bags, and go
Oh even though it never rains here
drives me crazy
And I start to laugh
'Cause, I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bag, and go
'Cause I don't care, if it
All the way from Memphis, babe
In search of something new
You tell me now
That Memphis, girl
Don't hold a thing for you
Hypnotized by gypsy lies
man couldn't sell you
He kept a 45 in a Crown Royal bag
Wiped the fingerprints off
Handed me the rag
I'm never going back to Memphis
I'm never going
What's the temperature darling? 100 and more
The horses pawing out the dust, but it's Wilton by the door
But you pour your strongest coffee
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Memphis in June
A shady veranda under a Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And cousin Amanda is making a blueberry pie
I can hear
bird, fly on!
On your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while
Yes on your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while
Well canary bird I want
nothin' like this
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time
I went down to the corner, I called by buddy Ray
Said it's a bad idea, but let's do
, see that world fair
Reason I'm going, 'cause my baby's there
Goin' to Memphis, see that world fair
Need no heater fireplace by my bed
Woman, I got
I seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And it was there beneath the streetlamp
Where I met a southern belle
Well she took me
I'm headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis
I'm headed down a highway, got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head; I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis
By now in New York City
There's snow on the ground
And out in California
The sunshine's falling down
And, maybe down in Memphis
Graceland's all
