Memphis - Janis Ian[00:00:01]

We were standing by the river [00:00:15]

Staring into town[00:00:22]

All the world was on his shoulders[00:00:29]

The tears were raining down[00:00:37]

All along the Southern skyline [00:00:44]

City lights began to bloom[00:00:51]

He said if you only knew her[00:00:58]

The way that I do sir [00:01:03]

You would be crying too[00:01:07]

If you could see Memphis the way that I do [00:01:13]

She would look different to you[00:01:21]

Queen of the Delta tip your tiara[00:01:28]

Memphis the belle of the blues[00:01:35]

The streets were filled with cotton[00:01:47]

And music filled the air[00:01:53]

All the paddle boats came rolling[00:02:01]

From east of everywhere[00:02:08]

Now the streets are filled with silence[00:02:15]

And songs no one can hear [00:02:22]

But her memory lingers[00:02:29]

It slips through my fingers [00:02:33]

And into this river of tears[00:02:37]

If you could see Memphis the way that I do [00:02:44]

She would look different to you[00:02:51]

Queen of the Delta tip your tiara[00:02:59]

Memphis the belle of the blues[00:03:06]

So roll on roll on[00:03:38]

My sweet magnolia roll on[00:03:46]

How the memory lingers[00:03:53]

It slips through my fingers[00:03:57]

And into this river of tears[00:04:00]

If you could see Memphis the way that I do [00:04:08]

She would look different to you[00:04:15]

Queen of the Delta tip your tiara[00:04:23]

Memphis the belle of the blues[00:04:30]

Memphis the belle of the blues[00:04:41]
