:41:08
Folks, I've just come down
Down from Memphis town

:41:11
That's where people smile
smile at you all the while

:41:14
Hospitality
They were good to me

:41:17
I couldn't spend a dime
I had the grandest time

:41:20
I went out dancing
with a Tennessee dear

:41:23
They had a fellow there named Handy
with a band you should hear

:41:26
While the white folks gently swayed
All those darkies played

:41:30
real harmony
:41:32
I never will forget the tune
that they call the Memphis blues

:41:36
Oh, those blues
:41:44
They've got a fiddler up there
who always slickens his hair

:41:48
And, boy, he sure do pull some bow
:41:50
And when the big bassoon
seconds to the trombone's croon

:41:55
Oh, yeah
:41:57
No one can make it
like that piano man

:42:03
They got a hot cornet
that you could never forget

:42:07
Oh, play it, boy
:42:09
When the drum goes wild
Mother, come and get your child

:42:15
I brought them here 'cause
I couldn't bear to lose

:42:19
those Memphis blues
:42:42
There's too much fuss
being made over this woman.

:42:44
Don't think you're fooling me.
You're in love with her.

:42:46
That again?
:42:48
Yes, I was good enough for you
till she came here.

:42:50
You're working here and getting paid.
If you're dissatisfied, get out.

:42:53
- Ace, you can't do this to me.
- You're getting to be a nuisance.
