Don't think I don't love you
don't think I don't care
don't think I don't come back
first I have to go there
shuffling back to Memphis
shuffing back to Memphis
I'm gonna point my leather shoes
to the city of the blues

First time I saw Memphis
missed the Nashville train
wound upon on Beale Street,
now I have a blues stay
Shuffling back to Memphis
I'm gonna point my leather shoes,
to the city of the blues
(watch me going now...)

Baby's got to cry mama
hound dog's got to howl
must get back to Memphis
even if I have to crawl
shuffling back to Memphis
shuffling back to Memphis
I'm gonna point my boogie shoes
to the city with the blues
I'm gonna point my boogie shoes
to the city with the blues
I'm gonna point my boogie shoes
to the city with the blues
