1
Folks I've just been down, down to Memphis town
2
That's where the people smile, smile on you all the while
3
Hospitality, they were good to me
4
I couldn't spend a dime and had the grandest time
5
I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear
6
They had a fellow named Handy with a band you should hear
7
And while the folks gently swayed
8
All them boys began to play in real harmony
9
I never will forget that tune they call
10
Handy's Memphis Blues, oh yes, those blues
11
They've got a trumpet man leading the band
12
And folks, he sure blow some horn
13
And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon
14
It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day
15
That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain
16
Is like a morning sorrow song
17
Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart
18
It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again, those Memphis Blues
