00:00Whoa-oh-oh-oh
00:02Whoa-oh-oh
00:06Whoa-oh-oh
00:09Yeah-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:11Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:28Folks, I've just been down, down to Memphis town
00:35That's where the people smile, smile on you all the while
00:44Hospitality, they were good to me
00:48I couldn't spend a dime, and had the grandest time
00:54I went out of dancing, with a Tennessee deer
01:01They had a fella there named Andy, with a band you should hear
01:07And while the folks gently swayed, all the band folks played
01:14Real harmony, I never will forget the tune that Andy called the Memphis Blues
01:25Oh, yes, I'm blues
01:30Oh, yes, I'm blues
01:35Oh, yes, I'm blues
01:51They got a fiddler there, that always slickens his hair
01:58And folks, he sure do pull some bow
02:05And when the big bassoon seconds, till the drum bells croon
02:11It moans just like a sinner on revival day
02:16On revival day
02:23Oh, that melody
02:27Sure appealed to me
02:30Just like a mountain stream
02:34Rippling on its scene
02:36Then it slowly dies
02:39Then it slowly dies
02:40With a genocide
02:42Soft as the breeze
02:45That winds high in the summer pines
02:52Hear me, people
02:55Hear me, people
02:57Hear I pray
02:58I'm gonna take a million lessons
03:02Till I learn how to play
03:05Because I seem to hear
03:07Because I seem to hear it yet
03:08Simply can't forget
03:11That blue refrain
03:18There's nothing like the handy band
03:21That play the Memphis blues so grand
03:25Oh, play them blues
03:31That melancholy strain
03:34That ever-haunted refrain
03:38It's like a sweet old sorrow song
03:45Here comes the very part
03:47That wraps a spell around my heart
03:50It sets me wild to hear that loving tone again
03:56The Memphis blues
04:09The Memphis blues
04:11Oh, play them blues
04:14Oh, play them blues
04:20Oh, play them blues
04:22Oh, play them blues
04:22Oh, play them blues
04:22Oh, play them blues
04:22Oh, play them blues
04:22Oh, play them blues
04:23Oh, play them blues
04:23Oh, play them blues
04:25Oh, play them blues
04:26Oh, play them blues
04:26Oh, play them blues
04:27Oh, play them blues
04:29Oh, play them blues
