You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Well, I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
There she goes, here I stand
Watching good love slip away
Once again, I'm all alone
Love has come and gone
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Well I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
She moved out, the blues moved in
Where I'm at is lost again
Well, I've been east and I've been west
And I can attest
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Well, I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
