memphis women, fried chicken
memphis women, fried chicken
well i'm headin' into memphis, memphis tennessee
the one place in the world i can get something good to eat
i'm hungry for some loving and some fried chicken
that goes down greasy and finger lickin'
i know just where to go to see some women i know
they mix it up right and let it simmer real slow
memphis women, fried chicken
memphis women, fried chicken
down on union there's a good ol' gal
she can smoke a pig and fry some fowl
she got biscuits in her oven
corn bread in the pan
i get by to see her every chance i can
i catch a whiff when i turn the corner
my mouth starts to water and i'm a goner
for the memphis women, fried chicken
memphis women, fried chicken
play some good blues and get a good meal
i don't care if the whiskey ever hits my lips
long as i get a taste of those bar-b-que ribs
there's a woman up on the bluff makes a living making pies
she got chocolate covered fingers and dark blueberry eyes
got that light powdered sugar sprinkled all in her
