Memphis Blues

from The Shore Up In The Sky by Peter J. Birch

lyrics

Memphis Blues”


Memphis, oh oh oh
Watchin’ you grow in the Sun
Listenin' to your artists and the songs
Feelin' good playin' all night long

Howlin' Wolf with amazing hoarsness in his voice
B.B. King, Hank Williams and the rest
The time when world got changed

But most of these guys
Worked hard on cotton farms
In the maize fields played some blues
Whiskey flowed straight from their shoes

Music of the gods imbued with pain and suffering
The wildest of the wild but still just human beings
That's the landscape of those times

Memphis hey hey hey
Last thing you can do is to pray
City of the brightest memories
The place I've dreamed about but never seen
Homeless in the street listen to guitar music bits
Dancin' in the rain in his holey shoes
With eyes directed towards the Moon

Great gig in the sky
For the angels and the rest
Movin', shakin', dancin' till the end of happiness
Music from them hearts fallin' deep down the great lake
I wish I could wake up one day and hear what they say
About the Memphis Blues

Memphis, oh oh oh
Watchin’ you grow in the Sun
Listenin' to your the artists and the songs
Feelin' good playin' all night long

Howlin' Wolf with amazing hoarsness in his voice
B.B. King, Hank Williams and the rest
The time when world got changed
