Guy Clark Cinco De Mayo In Memphis Lyrics

Cinco De Mayo In Memphis Lyrics

Meanwhile down on Biel Street

Drinking in a Biel Street bar

There's a fog rollin' off the Mississippi

Has anybody seen Arkansas?



And the deckhands from the toll boats

Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes

They headed strait for Graceland

It was the first thing they wanted to do



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singin' the blues

Soul sisters hugging Senoritas

All sportin' Blue suede shoes



Pork pie hats and sombreros

Hangin' on a downtown street

Swingin' pool cues at Pinatas

Don't that river smell sweet?



And they all come to get 'em some Memphis

A little somethin' for their souls

'Lone riders land up with limousines

Hey, they all came to rock and roll



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singin' the blues

Southern belles and Senoritas

All sportin' Blue suede shoes



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singin' the blues

Soul sisters hugging Senoritas

All sportin' Blue suede shoes
