From the recording Weeping Cowboys
Lyrics
Sometimes you’re sad. Sometimes you hurt so bad. Here in Memphis Tennessee. Oh, lord my soul’s on fire. Oh, how I feel so alive. Here in Memphis Tennessee. Beale, Stax and Sun. Song of holy Graceland. Here in Soulesville USA. Late at night they play WDIA. Across Bluesville USA. Mississippi she roll. She roll. Oh lord, the motels cry. Hold me tight just a little while. Keep the dream alive. Oh, why, the children cry. Dance and sing until they die. Here in Memphis Tennessee. Oh lord I’m tired walking this line. Here In Memphis Tennessee. Let me hear again Songs of BB King here in Bluesville USA. Mississippi she roll. She roll. Oh lord, the motels cry. Hold me tight just a little while. Keep the dream alive. Oh, why ,the children cry. Dance and sing until they die. Here in Memphis Tennessee. And lord when I die put me down by Aaron’s side here in Memphis Tennessee. Mississippi she roll.
