Got a midnight feeling since this afternoon
My soul needs the healing of a Memphis moon
'Cause when the night comes down with a thudding crash
My jeans become a gown with a silver sash
A hoot-owl sounds it's eerie rhyme
I guess it's been around for a long long time
And while it sings its haunting tune
I'm gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
Dark waters swell to a riverboat's cry
The stars all yell, and the willows sigh
Deep as death or the mighty Mississipp'
Just rolling along like she's taking a trip
Making her rounds in her muddy shoes
Dressing in browns but singing in Blues
Midnight fever's gonna hit me soon
I'm gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet
The moon hangs low over Beale street
A hoot-owl sounds its eerie, eerie rhyme
I guess it's been around for a long long time
And while it sings its haunting tune
I'm gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
