CRY MEMPHIS

VERSE 1:
SHE WALKS DOWNTOWN WITH A RED DRESS ON
LATE AT NIGHT WITH HER MIND HALF GONE
AND 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
PRETTIEST GIRL TOMMY HAD EVER SEEN
YA 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
IM BEGGING YOU TO LEAVE THAT WORLD BEHIND

VERSE 4
MEMPHIS CRIED TOMMY NOW DON’T YA KNOW
YOU CAN’T MAKE LOVE WITH A HEART OF STONE
TIME WILL PASS AND THEN YOU’LL SEE
IM NOT THE WOMAN THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
NO, I’M NOT THE WOMAN THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE

CHORUS:
AND HE’D CRY MEMPHIS 
PLEASE COME HOME
AND HE’D CRY MEMPHIS
DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE, NO

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
