Recorded Live in Nashville Tennessee at The French Quarter Cafe

lyrics

Verse 1:
She walks downtown with a red dress on
Late at night with her mind half gone
And come the morning she hides her face
And the lines of shame time can’t replace

Verse 2:
Her name was Memphis born in Albany
The prettiest girl Tommy ever had seen
Ya Tommy loved Memphis and his love was strong
Even loved her late at night with her mind half gone

Cry Memphis

Verse 3:
Tommy bought Memphis a wedding band
he cried Let me be your one and only man
I love you Memphis with a love so blind
I’m beggin’ you to leave that world behind

Verse 4:
Memphis cried Tommy now don’t ya know
you can’t make love with a heart of stone
Time will pass and then you’ll see
I’m not the woman that you want me to be
No I’m not the woman that you want me to be

Chorus:
And he’d Cry Memphis
please come home
And He’d Cry Memphis
don’t leave me alone, no

Bridge:
Oh
Tommy fell down on his knees.
As Memphis jumped into that white limousine.
One last look is all she gave.
And He knew he’d never see Memphis again.

Repeat Chorus:
