Miscellaneous

Memphis Man

Down home

A little cabin

And a soft

Little rabbit

I’m weeping and I’m grievin',

And I’ve found, oh, so even.

Memphis Man comes knockin' at the door

Knocked like nobody ever knocked before

If you know why, you should let him in

'Cause he’s so different when loving begins

Memphis Man

The lovingest man I know

Loves you like you’ve never been loved before

Love you while he’s talking, love you while he sings

Biggest eyes and hands and a few other things

If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man

Why, a Memphis Man knows more about lovin’than the rest

He loves you just where it feels the best;

Love you when he’s working, love you when he plays

He could write a book on his loving ways

If you want to please me, love me like a Memphis Man
