I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime I thought that big old city could ease my Georgia mind After just one hour, I met this Southern girl She said, "They call me the Queen of Memphis" And then she took me around the world I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms She showed me things, I'd never seen back there on that farm She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis Just like that old man river She keeps rolling through my mind And you know I won't forget her 'Cause she was one of a kind I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing "Blue Suede Shoes" That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis I am still in love with the Queen of Memphis
