Well I’m going down to Memphis With my heart in my hand Funny frisky woman that do needs to love me mad I’m gonna tell her what she wants to, dear I’ll be kissing soft and low Yes I’m going down to Memphis Ain’t got too far to go I’ll be figuring ‘round them bushes, searching everywhere It’s all about them Memphis girls, they’re everywhere They can spread their wings around me Let them flew in flock Yes I’m going down to Memphis Ain’t got too far to go Ain’t no detours on my pathway No crossroads I can see Having fun down in Memphis Memphis Tennessee With those everlovin’ women The reason that I know Yes I’m going down to Memphis Ain’t got too far to go You can talk about that costume ball that goes most everywhere You can see that ol’ man river rollin’ Past the city square You can feel the heat of summer But there’s one thing that I know Well I’m going down to Memphis Ain’t got too far to go Yes I’m going down to Memphis Ain’t got too far to go
