I hitchhiked up to memphis
A young boy in my prime
I thought that big old city
Would ease my georgia mind
After just one hour
I met this southern girl
She said they call me the queen of memphis
And she took me around the world
And I saw stars dancing on the water
I heard elvis singing 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
Prisoner of her charm
She showed me things I'd never seen
Back there on that farm
She set my soul on fire
She fulfilled all my dreams
A boy became a man
That night in the arms of the memphis queen
I saw stars dancing on the water
I heard elvis singing blue suede shoes
And almighty river was my witness
Tonight I fell in love with the queen of memphis
Just like that old man river
She keeps rolling through my mind
And no I won't forget her
She was one of a kind
I saw stars dancing on the water
I heard elvis singing blue suede tunes
That old muddy river was my witness
Tonight I fell in love with the queen of memphis
And I am still in love with the queen of memphis
