Cinco De Mayo in Memphis - Guy Clark

Meanwhile down on Beale Street

Drinking in a Beale Street bar

There’s a fog rolling off the Mississippi

Has anybody seen Arkansas?

And the deckhands from the towboats

Come ashore wearing Mexican shoes

Headed strait for Graceland

It Was the first thing they wanted to do

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Soul Sisters huggin Senoritas

All sportin' Blue suede shoes

Porkpie hats and sombreros

Hangin on a downtown street

Swingin pool cues at pinatas

Don’t that river smell sweet?

And they all come to get’m some Memphis

A little somethin' for their souls

Lowriders lined up with limousines Hey

They all came to rock and roll

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Southern belles and Senoritas

All sportin Blue suede shoes

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Southern belles and Senoritas

All sportin Blue suede shoes
