MEMPHIS MONDAY MORNING
Bobby Blue Bland


Memphis Monday mornin'
The summer rain is pouring do-o-own
Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is falling do-o-own, o-o-o-o-h
I keep reachin' for my baby
But my baby she's not around
She's not around

She left me without a warnin'
And she took the early morning train
Now if I don't find my baby
I know I'll go insane

Memphis Monday mornin'
And I'm tellin you
The summer rain is comin' down, o-o-o-o-h, now
I keep reachin', and reachin' for my baby
But my baby she can't be found

Mr. Ticket Master
Tell me where is my baby bound
Please Mr. Ticket Master
Can you tell me where my baby is bound
I've gotta know
Oh I, I would give anything
Just to turn that train around

Station information
Would you check your schedule, please
I need a destination
I'm down here on my knees

Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is comin' down, o-o-h no,
Oh I keep reachin' for my baby
But you know one thing
My baby's not around
I couldn't find her,
Somebody..

Memphis, Memphis Monday mornin'
Oh, the summer rain is pouring down
Oh, yes it is
Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is pouring down, do-o-o-own
I keep reachin for my baby
My baby can't be found

Memphis Monday mornin'
The summer rain is comin' down
Oh yes it is
Oh yes it is

Memphis, oh, Memphis Monday morning
Oh children, the summer rain is comin down
Right down here on Beale Street
Memphis Monday morning
I keep telling you the summer rain is comin' down

Down there on Third Street
Right down to Peabody
Along with the Days Inn
Memphis, Memphis Monday mornin'
Comin' down on WDIA,
?Rufus, and J Mack ??____....
