The Memphis Blues - Eartha Kitt/Shorty Rogers and His Giants
Folks I've just been down
Down to Memphis town
That's where the people smile
Smile on you all the while
Hospitality they were good to me
I couldn't spend a dime
And had the grandest time
I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear
They had a fellow there named Handy
With a band you should hear
And while the dance gently swayed
All the band folks played Real harmony
I never will forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
They've got a fiddler there
That always slickens his hair
And folks he sure do pull some bow
And when the big Bassoon seconds
To the Trombones croon
It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day
Hear me people hear me people hear me I pray
I'm going to take a million lesson's
Til I learn how to play
Because I seem to hear it yet
Simply can't forget
That blue refrain
There's nothing like the Handy Band
That played the Memphis Blues so grand
That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain
Is like a morning sorrow song
Here comes the very part
That wraps a spell around my heart
I can forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
I can forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis
Memphis Blues
