[Verse 1] The dogs of the north And the dogs of the south They can't agree on nothing They just bark and roll about And the evening smells like whiskey The water tastes like wine [Chorus] So come on back to Memphis, Madeline Come on back to Memphis, Madeline [Verse 2] When you reach the end of hunger What have you got When there's nothing that you want What do you want When your bags are tied With bits of string and twine [Chorus] Oh, come on back to Memphis, Madeline Come on back to Memphis, Madeline (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] If you don't want my love that's alright Time and all times money's on my side It's not the gold It's just the way it shines, it shines [Chorus] So, come on back to Memphis, Madeline Come on back to Memphis, Madeline Come on back to Memphis, Madeline
