Ethel Waters Memphis Man Lyrics

Memphis Man Lyrics

Down home, 

A little cabin, 

And a soft 

Little rabbit. 

I'm weeping and I'm grievin', [?] 

And I've found, oh, so even. [?] 



Memphis Man comes knockin' at the door. 

Knocked like nobody ever knocked before. 

If you know why, you should let him in, 

'Cause he's so different when loving begins. 



Memphis Man, 

The lovingest man I know, 

Loves you like you've never been loved before. 

Love you while he's talking, love you while he sings, 

Biggest eyes and hands and a few other things. 

If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man. 



Why, a Memphis Man knows more about lovin'than the rest. 

He loves you just where it feels the best; 

Love you when he's working, love you when he plays, 

He could write a book on his loving ways. 

If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man
