Memphis Blues (Remastered)

Folks I just been down, down to Memphis town Where the people smile, smile on you all the while Hospitality, they were good to me I couldn't spend a dime, I had the grandest time Well I went out a-dancin' with a Tennessee dear Had a fellow there called Handy with a band you should hear While all the white folks swayed, all the darkies played Real harmony Oh, I never will forget the tune they call the Memphis Blues They had a fiddler there who always thickens his hair And folks he sure does pull some bow And when that big bassoon seconds to the trombone's croon It moans just like a sinner on revival day That melancholy strain, that ever haunting refrain It's like a darkie's sorrowful song Here comes the spot that wraps a spell around your heart Oh, it makes me wild to hear that lovin' tune again That melancholy strain, that ever haunting refrain It's like a darkie's sorrowful song Here comes the spot that wraps a spell around your heart Oh, it sets me wild to hear that lovin' tune again Those Memphis Blues
