Memphis Sun - Murray Kellum

Memphis Sun

Murray Kellum

(Murray Kellum, Plantation 176)

Well now, I can remember CP's "Blue Suede Shoes"
When the King of rock 'n' roll was singin' "Milk Cow Blues"
Big John C. had a "Teenage Queen"
Jerry Lee was doing a shakin' thing
And that Sun kept shining out of Memphis Tennessee
It was a lot of rock 'n' roll
And it sure shined bright on me

I spent a "Lonely Weekend" down at "Folsom Jail"
I found "True Love," "Hey Porter" ring your bell
"Honey Don't," "Ooby Dooby"
"Great Balls Of Fire," woman "I Wanna Play House With You"
Yeah, that Sun kept shining out of Memphis Tennessee
It was a lot of rock 'n' roll
And it sure shined bright on me
(Gimme some Sun guitar son!)

Now, we were getting "Raunchy" at the "High School Hop"
Getting "Dixie Fried", rave on, forget the socks
"Mistery Train" blowing his whistle loud and long
"That's Allright Mama," 'cause she's "Gone, Gone, Gone"
And that Sun kept shining out of Memphis Tennessee
It was a lot of rock 'n' roll
And it sure shined bright on me
(Yeah, it did ya' all!)

King EP, Roy and Jerry Lee
Big John C. and my friend CP
And that Sun kept shining out of Memphis Tennessee
It was a lot of rock 'n' roll
And it sure shined bright on me
