Confederate Railroad - Queen Of Memphis lyrics

rate me

I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime

I thought that big old city would ease my Georgia mind

After just one hour, I met a Southern girl

She said they call me the Queen of Memphis

And then she took me around the world

CHORUS

I saw stars dancing on the water

I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes

That old muddy river was my witness

The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis

I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms

She showed me things I'd never seen back there on that farm

She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams

A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen

REPEAT CHORUS

Just like that old man river she keeps rolling through my mind

And you know I won't forget her 'cause she was one of a kind

REPEAT CHORUS
