Memphis Blues Lyrics

Bullfrog sittin' on a hollow log
Raccoon runnin' from an old hound dog
Where the Mississippi meets the delta dirt
My pampa told me it was just hard work

Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues

Now here she come a-rollin' it's the Delta Queen
Worker's stop a-workin' and they start to dream
Water just a-rollin' off the paddle wheel
Just wishin' there was some way out of that field

Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues

Now Sunday mornin' just a-sittin' in the church
Knowin' some day soon they're gonna leave this Earth
Well the preacher man preachin' He's a comin' soon
'Til then we'll be singin' them Memphis blues

Started out pickin' cotton
To the rhythm of a mournful tune
The hot sun just couldn't stop 'em
From gettin' the day's work through
They were singin' them Memphis blues

Yeah still singin' them Memphis blues
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Well it's a hi ho, hi ho silver
Yeah baby
