Lyrics:
Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home and we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rollin' down to the sea
But
Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, but we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rollin' down to the sea
But
Louis later on down the river
A freighter said She's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
And I found her trail in Memphis but she’d just walked up
trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge,
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a fallin' and the water was high
Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a fallin' and the water was high
Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey
Like a wide open Harley
Ain't no blues
Like the Memphis blues
And baby by the way did I forget to mention
That there ain't no woman like you
No there
throwed her clothes outdoors
Poor Black Mattie…
Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair, reason I'm goin', baby there
Goin' to Memphis, see the World's
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River
never been to Memphis
No - we ain't never been to Memphis
Don't sing to me 'bout no wanderin' star
Or standin' by ya man an' his slide guitar
That
Yeah, Memphis grew up by the river
Those river boat captains tried to teach her wrong from right
Such a lovely child
She grew up fast and she grew up
to box and kick
Precision love tight like a vice grip
Sail away far on a cruise ship
Tell you how your pretty compliment you on your hips
Relax by
to St Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up
Well I went on up to Memphis
And I walked in the bar
Ordered my whiskey and I
Says "I've come far
Up the Mississippi on the Delta Queen
My name is
Straight out the streets of Memphis, Tennessee
The robbery capital of the u.s.
The three 6
Because of they (mystic stylez)
They (lived by they
