The Memphis Blues - Eartha Kitt[00:00:00]
Written by:Norton Handy[00:00:01]
Folks I've just been down[00:00:10]
Down to[00:00:12]
Memphis town[00:00:13]
That's where the people smile[00:00:14]
Smile on you all the while[00:00:16]
Hospitality[00:00:19]
They were good to me[00:00:21]
I couldn't spend a dime[00:00:23]
And had the grandest time[00:00:25]
I went out a dancing[00:00:27]
With a Tennessee dear[00:00:29]
They had a fella there[00:00:31]
Named Handy[00:00:32]
With a band you should hear[00:00:33]
And while the[00:00:35]
Dancers gently swayed[00:00:36]
All the band boys[00:00:39]
Played[00:00:40]
Real harmony[00:00:41]
I never will forget[00:00:44]
The tune that[00:00:47]
Handy called the[00:00:47]
Memphis blues[00:00:48]
The got a fiddler there[00:00:53]
That always slickens his hair[00:00:55]
And folks he sure does[00:00:58]
Pull some bow[00:01:00]
And when the big bassoon[00:01:02]
Seconds to the trombone's croon[00:01:05]
And moans just like[00:01:11]
A sinner on revival day[00:01:14]
Here me people hear me people[00:02:14]
Hear me I pray[00:02:16]
I'm gonna take a million lessons 'til[00:02:17]
I learn[00:02:20]
How to play[00:02:21]
Because I seem[00:02:22]
To hear it yet[00:02:23]
Simply can't forget that blues refrain[00:02:25]
There's nothing like a handy band[00:02:31]
That played the[00:02:33]
Memphis blues[00:02:34]
So grand[00:02:35]
That melancholy strain[00:02:39]
Ever haunting refrain[00:02:42]
Is like a morning sorrow song[00:02:44]
Here comes the very part[00:02:48]
That wraps it's spell around[00:02:51]
My heart[00:02:53]
I can't forget the tune[00:02:57]
That handy called the[00:03:00]
Memphis blues[00:03:01]
I can't forget the tune[00:03:06]
That handy called the memphis[00:03:09]
The memphis blues[00:03:15]
