Lyrics
I hitch-hiked up to Memphis
A young boy in my prime
I thought that big old city
Could ease my Georgia mind
After just one hour
I met this Southern girl
She said, "They call me the Queen of Memphis"
Then she took me around the world
And I saw stars dancin' on the water
I heard Elvis singin' Blue Suede Shoes
That old muddy river was my witness
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
I woke up the next morning
A prisoner of her charms
She showed me things I'd never seen
Back there on that farm
She set my soul on fire
She completed all my dreams
A boy became a man that night
In the arms of the Memphis Queen
And I saw stars dancin' on the water
I heard Elvis singin' Blue Suede Shoes
That old muddy river was my witness
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
Just like that old man river
She keeps rolling through my mind
And you know I won't forget her
'Cause she was one of a kind
I saw stars dancin' on the water
I heard Elvis singin' Blue Suede Shoes
That old muddy river was my witness
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
And I am still in love with the Queen of Memphis
