I HITCHHIKED UP TO MEMPHIS
A YOUNG BOY IN MY PRIME
I THOUGHT THAT BIG OH CITY
COULD EASE MY GEORGIA MIND
AFTER JUST ONE HOUR
I MET THIS SOUTHERN GIRL
SHE SAID THEY CALL ME THE QUEEN OF MEMPHIS
THEN SHE TOOK ME AROUND THE WORLD
(CHORUS)
AND I SAW STARS DANCING ON THE WATER
I HEARD ELVIS SINGING BLUE SUEDE SHOES
THAT OH MUDDY RIVER WAS MY WEAKNESS
TO NIGHT I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE QUEEN OF MEMPHIS
I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING
A PRISONER OF HER CHARM
SHE SHOWED ME THINGS I'D NEVER SEEN
BACK THERE ON THAT FARM
SHE SET MY SOLE ON FIRE
SHE FULFILLED ALL MY DREAMS
A BOY BECAME A MAN THAT NIGHT
IN THE ARMS OF A MEMPHIS QUEEN
(CHORUS)
JUST LIKE THAT OLD MAN RIVER
SHE KEEPS GOING THOUGH MY MIND
AND YOU KNOW I WON'T FORGET HER
CAUSE SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND
(CHORUS)
AND I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH THE QUEEN OF MEMPHIS
