The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Strictly Memphis Lyrics
(Jagger/Richards)



Owwwooooo, yeah

Well...

Like to put my foot down, head out of New York town

Hit the open road, open road

I guess it clears my mind, I love the change in time

It put my nose in joint, well well well

I'm just so signifyin', I know that it ain't no crime

I'm no country boy, country boy

The blues is in my heart, that's where my story starts

It makes me jump with joy, whoo whoo



Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans

(Down in New Orleans)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis, (goin')

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis, (goin')

I'm gonna be there

Whooo

Step on it!

Yeah .... yeah



Back down on in the south

Sweet tastin' in my mouth

And honeysuckle vine, suckle vine

Into the big bayou

In with the Zydeco

My lovin' come alive, come alive

Too big to come upstairs, and Muddy Waters stayed,

Water-stayed

From an old man's mouth

Whoowooo



Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans, (down in New Orleans)

Owwo

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

I'm gonna be there

Step on it!

You got it!

Bit on it!

She got it!

Whooo...



Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

I'm gonna be there

Step on it!

You got it!, (you got it)

Yeah...

Owwoooo

(Yes)



(I'm goin' to the Delta)

(Goin' on the shelter)

(Two little sissy boys)

(Say it again)



Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes, I'm goin' to Memphis, (yeah)

And down in New Orleans, (Ohwoowoo)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans, (Aww)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm like a tempest

And down in New Orleans, whoo

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans

(Say it again, say it again)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis, (hey)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis, (yeah)

And down in New Orleans

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans, (I gotta be there)

(I gotta be there)

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

Yes I'm goin' to Memphis

And down in New Orleans

You come alive...lii-iive
