I got a new way of spellin' Memphis Tennessee I got a new way of spellin' Memphis Tennessee I got a new way of spellin' Memphis Tennessee With a blues with a tears with a double "S" and a double "E" When I got up this morning Blues was walkin' 'round my bed When I got up this morning blues was walkin' 'round my bed When I got up this morning blues was walkin' 'round my bed When I go to eat my breakfast blues was al l in my head I had a woman she cried over me I had a woman she cried over me I had a woman she cried over me There's a whole heap of crocodile tears Down in Memphis Tennessee Down in the valley, valley so low Down in the valley, valley so low Down in the valley, valley so low Hear that lonesome evenin' train's Lonesome whistle blow Well bye, bye, people bye bye I wanna go, wanna go away from here People bye, bye, yes people bye bye If anybody hear my plea Please bail me out of Memphis Tennessee
