Memphis Me - Tommy Roe

i loosen up my collar when it’s warm outside,

and i wear a heavy coat when it’s cold

i call up the doctor when my fever’s high,

see a tailor when my suit gets old

and when i need a little company,

there’s only one girl i want to see,

and she lives in memphis tennessee

i think i’ll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah

memphis me, one more time

it’s early in the morning in birmingham,

and i wish that i could stay in bed

cause i’m dreaming that she’s with me here where i am

and i know it’s only in my head

but when i need a little company,

she’s the only girl i wanna see

but she lives in memphis tennessee

i guess i’ll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,

memphis me, one more time

a farmer has to live where his crops will grow,

and a peddler has to sell his wares

the children need to learn what the teachers know,

everybody needs someone who cares

so when i need a little company,

there’s only one place for me to be

and it’s here in memphis tennessee

i had to memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah

memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,

one more time.

etc and out
