well i'm going down to memphis
funny frisky woman that do needs to love me mad
i'm gonna tell her what she wants to
i'll be kissing soft and low
yes i'm going down to memphis
i'll be figuring 'round them bushes
it's all about them memphis girls
they can spread their wings around me
yes i'm going down to memphis
ain't no detours on my pathway
having fun down in memphis
with those everlovin' women
yes i'm going down to memphis
you can talk about that costume ball that goes most everywhere
you can see that ol' man river rollin'
you can feel the heat of summer
but there's one thing that i know
well i'm going down to memphis
yes i'm going down to memphis
