[00:00:00] The Memphis Blues - Eartha Kitt/Shorty Rogers

[00:00:01] Written by：W.C. Handy/George A. Norton

[00:00:10] Folks I've just been down

[00:00:12] Down to memphis town

[00:00:14] That's where the people smile

[00:00:16] Smile on you all the while

[00:00:19] Hospitality

[00:00:21] They were good to me

[00:00:23] I couldn't spend a dime

[00:00:25] And had the grandest time

[00:00:27] I went out a dancing

[00:00:29] With a tennessee dear

[00:00:31] They had a fella there named handy

[00:00:33] With a band you should hear

[00:00:35] And while the dancers gently swayed

[00:00:38] All the band boys played

[00:00:40] Real harmony

[00:00:44] I never will forget

[00:00:46] The tune that handy called the memphis blues

[00:00:53] The got a fiddler there

[00:00:55] That always slickens his hair

[00:00:57] And folks he sure does pull some bow

[00:01:02] And when the big bassoon

[00:01:05] Seconds to the trombone's croon

[00:01:11] And moans just like a sinner on revival day

[00:02:13] Here me people hear me people hear me I pray

[00:02:17] I'm gonna take a million lessons 'til I learn how to play

[00:02:21] Because I seem to hear it yet

[00:02:25] Simply can't forget that blues refrain

[00:02:30] There's nothing like a handy band

[00:02:33] That played the memphis blues so grand

[00:02:39] That melancholy strain

[00:02:41] Ever haunting refrain

[00:02:44] Is like a morning sorrow song

[00:02:48] Here comes the very part

[00:02:51] That wraps it's spell around my heart

[00:02:57] I can't forget the tune

[00:03:00] That handy called the memphis blues

[00:03:06] I can't forget the tune

[00:03:09] That handy called the memphis

[00:03:14] The memphis blues
