Booker T. Jones
Down in Memphis
Doin' it in the heatLearning how to walk the beatLaying it down againTaking it on the chinHeading for the darkest clubDown on Beale StreetPlaying that funky musicDrinking that funky ginGotta be a pistol Gotta be a gunGotta be one strange phenomenonDown in MemphisYeah Memphis TennesseeMemphis TennesseeGotta see a new woman over in KlondikeTen minutes in the ThunderbirdRunning on the turnpikeI gotta pay union duesMake me wanna to sing the bluesI can't be a winner now'Cause I'm born to loseDown in MemphisSongtexteYeah Memphis TennesseeMemphis TennesseeDown in Memphis, MemphisYeah Doing it, doing itGotta shine shoesDown on Fourth and WalkerOut on Peggy's PatioFor some sweet talkerSpend your easy nightsOut in Mallory HeightsLiving on Auction RoadWith no street lightsTried to find loveOut in Dixie homesLook at your TVAnd you find Rufus and BonesMatt D. WilliamsGiving you a D-The man won't hear no pleaMan won't play no keyDown in MemphisMMM Memphis TennesseeMemphis TennesseeDown in Memphis, MemphisYeah Memphis TennesseeDown in Memphis, Memphis, Memphis yeahMemphis, Memphis, MemphisMemphis TennesseeMemphis TennesseeYeah Memphis Tennessee
