Louis Armstrong - Blues In The South lyric

Ringtones Ringtone: Send Blues In The South Ringtone to your Cell Phone!


Folks I've just been down, down to Memphis town

That's where the people smile, smile on you all the while

Hospitality, they were good to me

I couldn't spend a dime and had the grandest time

I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear

They had a fellow named Handy with a band you should hear

And while the folks gently swayed

All them boys began to play in real harmony

I never will forget that tune they call

Handy's Memphis Blues, oh yes, those blues

They've got a trumpet man leading the band

And folks, he sure blow some horn

And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon

It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day

That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain

Is like a morning sorrow song

Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again, those Memphis Blues
