"Cinco De Mayo In Memphis" lyrics
Meanwhile down on Beale Street
Drinkin' in a Beale Street bar
There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi
Has anybody seen Arkansas?
The deckhands from the towboats
Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes
They headed straight for Graceland
It was the first thing they wanted to do
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singing the blues
Soul sisters huggin' señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
Pork pie hats and sombreros
Hangin' on a downtown street
Swingin' pool cues at piñatas
Don't that river smell sweet?
And they all come to get 'em some Memphis
Little somethin' for their soul
Low riders lined up with limousines
Hey, they all came to rock and roll
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singin' the blues
Southern belles and señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singin' the blues
Southern belles and señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
Drinkin' in a Beale Street bar
There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi
Has anybody seen Arkansas?
The deckhands from the towboats
Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes
They headed straight for Graceland
It was the first thing they wanted to do
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singing the blues
Soul sisters huggin' señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
Pork pie hats and sombreros
Hangin' on a downtown street
Swingin' pool cues at piñatas
Don't that river smell sweet?
And they all come to get 'em some Memphis
Little somethin' for their soul
Low riders lined up with limousines
Hey, they all came to rock and roll
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singin' the blues
Southern belles and señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachis singin' the blues
Southern belles and señoritas
All sportin' blue suede shoes
