Also recorded by: Sue Foley




Well, I'm goin' to Memphis, gonna stop at ???? ????
I'm gonna show them womens how to treat a man
I said I'm goin' to Memphis, stop at ???? ????
I'll show them women, Honey, how to treat a man


I said now you ain't good lookin' and you don't dress fine
That cause people makin' fun o' you almost any ol' time
Say, you ain't good lookin', you don't dress so fine
That just cause people makin' fun o' you most any time


(Piano Break)


Well, I'm goin' to Memphis, stop at Church's Hall
I'm gonna show you women how to cock it on the wall
I'm goin' to Memphis, stop at Church's Hall
I'm goin' to show them womens, honey, how to cock it on a wall


Now you can snap it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall
Throw it out the window, see if you catch it `fore it fall
I mean you can snap it, you can break it, hang it on the ????? wall
Gotta show all you womens how to catch it 'fore it falls


(Piano Break)


I'm gonna leave now

Well, I'm goin' to Memphis, stop in Camelot

Oh, I'm goin' to Memphis, stop in Camelot
