Never thought of hades
Under the Mississippi
But still I've come for to sing for him
So southern furies
Prepare to walk for my harp
I have strung and I will leave with him
Relax the cogs of rhyme
Over the Memphis skyline
Always hated him for the way he looked
In the gaslight of the morning
Then came hallelujah sounding like mad Ophelia
For me in my room living
So kissme, my darling stay with me till morning
Turn back and you will stay
Under the Memphis Skyline
