Lewis, Jerry Lee - Memphis Beat Lyrics
Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy
Forty-four school where the kids don't study
Well they all hang around at the root of Beale Street
Oh that's where they hear that Memphis Beat
I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough
Whoo they're hitchhikin' here from California ride on a Honda from Arizona
Houston Boston Kansas City New Orleans and a doo wa diddy
Oh I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Well people come a ridin' a walkin' a swimmin'
Got a little chance at them good lookin' women
Oh they march on down to the foot of Beale Street
Ah then dance all night to that Memphis Beat
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Oh come on now let's go to Memphis
Where the beat is tough I can't get enough
I gotta get back there I gotta get back there

Lewis, Jerry Lee Memphis Beat Comments
Another good rock and roll record by the Killer that was ignored in the mid-60s as the Beatles and British bands were taking over the world.
That is truly NOT Rockabilly. Even Jerry often mentioned he never played "that rockabilly stuff" - that was early Elvis and Carl Perkins. This is Rock and Roll!!
