Jerry Lee Lewis Memphis Beat Lyrics

Memphis Beat Lyrics



Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy

Forty-four school where the kids don't study

Well they all hang around at the root of Beale Street

Oh that's where they hear that Memhpis Beat

I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough

It makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood that Memphis
Beat



Whoo they're hitchhikin' here from California ride on a Honda from Arizona

Houston Boston Kansas City New Orleans and a doo wa diddy

Oh I'm goin' to Memphis...

[ piano - guitar ]

Well people come a ridin' a walkin' a swimmin'

Got a little chance at them good lookin' women

Oh they march on down to the foot of Beale Street

Ah then dance all night to that Memphis Beat

Oh I'm goin' to Memphis......

Oh come on now let's go to Memphis

Where the beat is tough I can't get enough

I gotta get back there I gotta get back there
