Memphis Blues lyrics
Bull frog sittin' on a hollow log
Raccoon runnin' from an old hound dog
Where the Mississippi meets the delta dirt
My grandpa told me it was just hard work
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Now here she come a rollin' it's the Delta Queen
Worker's stop a workin' and they start to dream
Water just a rollin off the paddle wheel
Just wishin' there was some way out of that field
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Now it's Sunday mornin' sittin' in the church
Knowin' some day soon they're gonna leave this Earth
Well the preacher man preachin' He's a comin' soon
'Til then we'll be singin' them Memphis blues
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Yeah still singin' them Memphis blues
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Yeah baby
Raccoon runnin' from an old hound dog
Where the Mississippi meets the delta dirt
My grandpa told me it was just hard work
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Now here she come a rollin' it's the Delta Queen
Worker's stop a workin' and they start to dream
Water just a rollin off the paddle wheel
Just wishin' there was some way out of that field
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Now it's Sunday mornin' sittin' in the church
Knowin' some day soon they're gonna leave this Earth
Well the preacher man preachin' He's a comin' soon
'Til then we'll be singin' them Memphis blues
Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues
Yeah still singin' them Memphis blues
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Yeah baby
