memphis in june

memphis in june

a shady veranda

under a sunday blue sky

memphis in june

and cousin amanda's

making a rhubarb pie

i can hear the clock inside

a ticking and tocking

everything is peacefully dandy

i can see old granny 'cross the street

still a rocking

watching all the neighbors go by

memphis in june

with sweet oleander

blowing perfume in the air

up jumps the moon

to make it that much grander

it's paradise brother take my advice

nothing's half as nice as memphis in june
