Memphis Me Songtext

von Tommy Roe

Memphis me

I loosen up my collar when it's warm outside,
And i wear a heavy coat when it's cold
I call up the doctor when my fever's high,
See a tailor when my suit gets old
And when i need a little company,
There's only one girl i want to see,
And she lives in memphis tennessee
I think i'll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah
Memphis me, one more time
It's early in the morning in birmingham,
And i wish that i could stay in bed
Cause i'm dreaming that she's with me here where i am
And i know it's only in my head
But when i need a little company,
She's the only girl i wanna see
But she lives in memphis tennessee
I guess i'll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,
Memphis me, one more time
A farmer has to live where his crops will grow,
And a peddler has to sell his wares
The children need to learn what the teachers know,
Everybody needs someone who cares
So when i need a little company,
There's only one place for me to be
And it's here in memphis tennessee
I had to memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah
Memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,
One more time. etc and out
