Description:
Folks I've just been down, down to Memphis town,<br/>That's where the people smile, smile on you all the while.<br/>Hospitality, they were good to me.<br/>I couldn't spend a dime, and had the grandest time.<br/><br/>I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear,<br/>They had a fellow there named Handy with a band you should hear<br/>And while the folks gently swayed, all the band folks played Real harmony.<br/>I never will forget the tune that Handy called the Memphis Blues.<br/>Oh yes, them Blues.<br/><br/>They've got a fiddler there that always slickens his hair<br/>And folks he sure do pull some bow.<br/>And when the big Bassoon seconds to the Trombones croon.<br/>It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day, on Revival Day.<br/><br/>Oh that melody sure appealed to me.<br/>Just like a mountain stream rippling on it seemed.<br/>Then it slowly died, with a gentle sigh<br/>Soft as the breeze that whines high in the summer pines.<br/><br/>Hear me people, hear me people, hear I pray,<br/>I'm going to take a million lesson's 'til I learn how to play<br/>Because I seem to hear it yet, simply can't forget<br/>That blue refrain.<br/><br/>There's nothing like the Handy Band that played the Memphis Blues so grand.<br/>Oh play them Blues.<br/>That melancholy strain, that ever haunting refrain<br/>Is like a sweet old sorrow song.<br/>Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart.<br/>It sets me wild to hear that loving tune a gain,<br/>The Memphis Blues.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>\
