lirik lagu tommy womack - the story of waymond & lou
[interlude]
in 1955 in memphis, tennessee, there lived a fifteen year old girl named lou, short for louise, and she had jet~black hair
now, lou didn’t follow music, that’s important, remember that
one night, she was parked outside the malt shop in memphis with her best girlfriend behind the wheel and lou in the passenger seat
lou’s window was down
and, uh, the parking sp~ce next to her was empty
until this cadillac came squealing in, screeched to a halt, driven by some greasy guy
and his window was down too, and he took one look at lou with hеr jet~black hair and said, “hey, blackie, i got what you need”
lou gavе him the finger
and the cadillac screamed out of the spot and squealed off and raced down the road and out of their lives
and lou’s girlfriend was appalled
she was scandalized
she was apoplectic over the fact that lou had just given the finger to elvis presley
that’s a true story
in 1960, in memphis, tennessee, my oldest brother waymond, who was twenty years older than me and out of the house before i was even born
he was working during the summertime between semesters down at the docks on the mississippi river, loading and unloading stuff
and one day, he had the same day off as his best buddy
and they thought, “what’ll we do to pass the time?”
and they remembered that elvis was often down at the front gate of graceland and he would sign autographs and pose for pictures
so they went to graceland
and there was nothing going on out front, but they heard commotion from the back of the house, and so they walked all the way around the perimeter fence ’til they were outside the backyard
and they poked their heads over the fence, and there was elvis playing touch football with his buddies
now what is not the coolest move that my oldest brother waymond ever did, or his best friend
they hopped over the fence and infiltrated the game
and were allowed to play
my oldest brother waymond played touch football with elvis presley in 1960, that’s a true story
eighteen years later, in the chapel on the air force base in k. i. sawyer, michigan, lou became waymond’s third wife
and this is their song
