You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
You just fall in love
With the kind of women I do
Well, I've had me a dozen
But I never had one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
There she goes
And here I stand
Watching good love slip away
Once again
I'm all alone
Love has come and gone
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
You just fall in love
With the kind of women I do
Well, I've had me a dozen
But I never had one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
She moved out
The blues moved in
Where I'm at is lost again
Well, I've been east
And I've been west
And I can attest
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
You just fall in love
With the kind of women I do
Well, I've had me a dozen
But I never had one that
Did not fall through
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
You don't have to go to Memphis
To get the blues
