Memphis Women and Chicken

Huh-huh-huh-huh

I see the sign "Memphis 25 miles"

Goes like this

I'm headin' into Memphis, Memphis Tennessee

Is one place in this world I can get somethin' good to eat

I'm hungry for some lovin' and some fried chicken

Goes down greasy and finger-lickin'

I know just where to go, there's this woman I know

She sets it up right and lets it simmer real slow

With that Memphis women 'n' fried chicken

Memphis women 'n' fried chicken

Over on Union there's a good ol' gal

She can smoke a pig, she can fry some fowl

She got biscuits in her oven, cornbread in the pan

I get by to see her ev'ry chance I can

I catch a whiff when I turn the corner

My mouth starts to water, and I'm a goner

For that Memphis women and fried chicken

Memphis women 'n' chicken

Yeah, I take my old guitar, and I go down on Beale

Play some good blues and get a real good meal

I don't care if whiskey ever hits my lips

Just as long as I get a taste of them barbecue ribs, yeah

Now, there's a woman up on the bluff makes her livin' makin' pies

Got them chocolate-covered fingers, dark blueberry eyes

Got the light powdered sugar sprinkled all in her hair

Her apple turnover is beyond compare

When it's hot, late and sticky and you want somethin' cool and sweet

She keeps the handle crankin' on that homemade ice cream, yeah

Memphis women and good fried chicken

Memphis women 'n' chicken, yeah

That's the thing about Memphis

Every time I come down here it speaks to my senses

It's got somethin' to do with

They got that fried chicken

They got that fried chicken, bawk, bawk

They got that fried chicken, bawk, bawk

They got that fried chicken

Down in Memphis, fried chicken

Barbecue too, uh-huh (Fried chicken)

(Fried chicken)

Come on now, you chicken (Fried chicken)

(Fried chicken)

They got that (Fried chicken)

Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk (Fried chicken)

Bawk, bawk, bawk (Fried chicken)

Bawk, bawk, bawk (Fried chicken)

Aw yes (Fried chicken)
