Generate meaning
1
The old men play in Handy Square
2
On a Wednesday afternoon
3
On old guitars, near sleeping bars
4
They play the Memphis Blues
5
They drink cheap beer out of plastic cups
6
And play the music loud
7
The people come from miles around
8
To hear that Memphis Sound
9
Life is hard, but life is good
10
Sometimes it don't turn out like it should
11
That's why the people love to hear us sing the Blues
12
On a Memphis afternoon
13
The soul of W. C. Handy
14
Keeps an eye on Beale St.
15
He's the Father of the Blues
16
He knows all the tunes
17
On a Memphis afternoon
18
Old Cindy passes the bucket
19
As she dances around the square
20
She does a good job of gettin' money
21
From the tourists sittin' there
22
Life is hard, but life is good
23
Sometimes it don't turn out like it should
24
That's why the people love to hear us sing the Blues
25
On a Memphis afternoon
26
I thought my heart would break that day in Memphis
27
I prayed for God to take controlLife is hard, but life is good
28
Sometimes it don't turn out like it should
29
That's why the people love to hear us sing the Blues
30
On a Memphis afternoon
