Hey Memphis - Lavern Baker

Hey Memphis

Lavern Baker

(Doc Pomas - Mort Shuman, ATLANTIC 2119, 1961)

[Chorus]
Hey Memphis won't you, hey Memphis won't you
Hey Memphis won't you kiss me once or twice
Make me feel so nice, I'd never run
Hey Memphis, I won't do what my big sister does
(Hey Memphis, I won't do what my big sister does)

Well, you dated my big sister
You took her to a show
You went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out of the door

[Chorus]

Everytime you saw my sister
She had somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like that little ol' boll weevil
But I won't so the same to you

[Chorus]

Well, you used to pull my pigtails
And pinch my turned-up nose
But I've been a-growing
And baby, it's been showing
From my head down to my toes

[Chorus]

Also recorded as "Little Sister" by Elvis Presley (RCA 47-7908, 1961)
