Jerry Lee Lewis Lyrics

"Memphis Beat" lyrics


Down by Mississippi where the water gets muddy
Or the old school where the kids go steady
Well they hang around at the foot of Beale Street
Well that's where they hear that Memhpis Beat

Oh going to Memphis
Where the beat is tough
Memphis
I can't get enough

It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
It gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Whoo They hitch-hike here from California
Ride on a Honda from Arizona

Houston, Boston, Kansas City
New Orleans and a doo who diddy
Oh Going to Memphis
Where the beat is tough

Memphis
I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
It gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Whooo yeah

Well people come a ridin'
and a walkin' and a swimming
Got a get a chance at them good lookin' women
Walk em on down to the foot of Beale Street

Ahh Gonna dance all night to that Memphis Beat
Ooooooh going to Memphis
Where the beat is tough
Memphis

I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
It gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
OH come on down

Lets go to Memphis
Where the beat is tough
I can't get enough
I gotta get back there

Its get in your blood
It makes you feel good
Whoooo
Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis
