Cry Memphis

CRY MEMPHIS

verse 1
She walks downtown with a red dress on
Late at night with her mind half gone
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
Yea 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 begging you to leave that world behind

Verse 4
Memphis cried Tommy now don’t you 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 cried Memphis
please come home
and he cried Memphis
don’t leave me alone


bridge
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


tag
cry Memphis
cry Memphis
cry, cry Memphis
cry Memphis
