The Memphis Blues (or Mister Crump) Lyrics - Louis Armstrong

Folks I've just been down, down to Memphis town 

That's where the people smile, smile on you all the while 

Hospitality, they were good to me 

I couldn't spend a dime and had the grandest time 

I went out a dancing with a Tennessee dear 

They had a fellow named Handy with a band you should hear 

And while the folks gently swayed 

All them boys began to play in real harmony 

I never will forget that tune they call 

Handy's Memphis Blues, oh yes, those blues 

They've got a trumpet man leading the band 

And folks, he sure blow some horn 

And when the clarinet seconds to the trombones croon 

It moans just like a sinner on Revival Day

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

That melancholy strain that ever haunting ain 

Is like a morning sorrow song 

Here comes the very part that wraps a spell around my heart 

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again, those Memphis Blues
