Steve Chizmadia Memphis Girl lyrics

He was a gui-tar picker
drinkin' Irish Liquor
in a pub in county Queens
singin' old songs
for tips and all the Guinness
he could drink from ten till three
never once thinkin'
while pickin' and drinkin'
his life was about to be
spun one eighty by a pretty little lady
from a county called Shel-by

Now he's in love, he's in love
with a Memphis Girl
a Mississippi river bred Tennessee pearl
a rockin' little lady from rock-a-billy town
she rocked his whole world upside down

You see he'd been a little gun-shy for some time
to put his broken heart on the firing line
'til she walked in like a neon sign
that said "It's time to leave the past behind"

Now he's in love, he's in love
with a Memphis GIrl
a Mississippi river bred Tennessee pearl
a rockin' little lady from rock-a-billy town
she rocks his whole world upside down


She's finger lickin' chicken
and blue suede she's
rock-a-billy rhythm and Beale Street blues
bisquits, gravy and barbecue
a one in a million Rendezvous

You know he'd never felt lucky
never dreamed he'd be
jackpot winner of a lottery
no he never thought he'd ever live a rich man's life
'til he made that Tennessee lady his wife

Now he's in love, he's in love
with a Memphis Girl
a Mississippi river bred Tennessee pearl
a rockin' little lady from rock-a-billy town
she rocks his whole world upside down

Now he's in love, he's in love
with a Memphis Girl
a Mississippi river bred Tennessee pearl
a rockin' little lady from rock-a-billy town
she knocked his feet clear off the ground
that pretty little lady from Memphis Town
