lirik lagu bing crosby & ella fitzgerald - memphis blues
[verse 1: bing crosby & ella fitzgerald]
folks, i’ve just been down, down to memphis town
that’s where the people smile, smile on you all the while
hospitality, man, they was good to me
i couldn’t spend a dime, had the grandest time
i went out a~dancing with a tennessee dear
met a man named handy with a band you should hear
and while the dancers swayed, all the fellas played real harmony
[chorus: bing crosby & ella fitzgerald]
i never will forget the tune they called the memphis blues
[verse 2: bing crosby & ella fitzgerald]
they’ve got a fiddler there who always sl!ckens his hair
folks, he sure does pull a mean bow
and when the big bassoon seconds to the trombone’s croon
it moans just like a sinner, ooh, on revival day
that melancholy strain, ever haunting refrain
is like a southern sorrow song
here comes the very part, wraps a spell around my heart
[chorus: ella fitzgerald]
it sets me wild to hear that loving tune again
the memphis blues
[verse 3: bing crosby & ella fitzgerald]
mississippi river, long, deep, and wide
got myself a rowboat and i pulled for the other side
and when i heard the music, i coulda laid right down and died
ah, you shoulda heard the singin’ come floatin’ out across the tide
[outro: bing crosby & ella fitzgerald, bing crosby]
get on your fanciest dancing shoes
and ask the leader to play the blues
the m~e~m~p~h~i~s, boy
i need the memphis blues
i need the memphis blues
thank you, ella
thank you, folks
thanks also to the firehouse five, too, for some mighty fine blastin’ there
