I HITCH HIKED UP TO MEMPHIS A YOUNG BOY IN MY PRIME I THOUGHT THAT BIG OLD CITY COULD EASE MY GEORGIA MIND AFTER JUST ONE HOUR I MET THIS SOUTHERN GIRL SHE SAID "THEY CALL ME THE QUEEN OF MEMPHIS" THEN SHE TOOK ME ROUND THE WORLD
CHORUS
I SAW STARS DANCING ON THE WATER I HEARD ELVIS PLAYING BLUE SUEDE SHOES THAT OLD MUDDY RIVER WAS MY WITNESS THE NIGHT I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE QUEEN OF MEMPHIS
I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING A PRISONER OF HER CHARM SHE SHOWED ME THINGS I'D NEVER SEEN BACK THERE ON THAT FARM SHE SET MY SOUL ON FIRE SHE COMPLETED ALL MY DREAMS A BOY BECAME A MAN THAT NIGHT IN THE ARMS OF THE MEMPHIS QUEEN
CHORUS
BRIDGE
JUST LIKE THAT OLD RIVER SHE KEEPS ROLLIN' THROUGH MY MIND AND YOU KNOW I WON'T FORGET HER 'COS SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND
