"Bring It On Home To Memphis" lyrics

Sweet Lucinda, look out your window
LA Freeway just like the main said
People honking their horns and pointing guns at your head
Sweet Lucinda
In the land of cotton
You're not forgotten
Mississippi River just rolls on through
And everybody's wondering what happened to you
In the land of cotton
Down on the delta, remember your soul
We're waiting just to welcome you back to the fold
Tomorrow comes early, you better get hummin'
The whole damn town is gonna know that you're coming

Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home and give us a thrill
Bring it home, honey, send me the bill
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis

Beale Street was jumpin' the day you were born
And WC Handy was blowin' his horn
And all over Memphis, the music grew quiet
Mystery Train put a hush on the night
Lightening bugs dance in a hot summer breeze
And the wind was a whisper through the tops of the trees
Rain started falling, the river grew lazy
Bring it on home, you're making me crazy

We've got hot buttered biscuits and dewberry pie
And white flour gravy in an endless supply
A cucumber salad right out of the ground
And cold soda water just to wash it all down
Down on the delta where cotton is king
We only wanna treat you like a homecoming queen
Tomorrow comes early, it's never too late
The whole damn town is gonna open the gate

Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home and that'll be cool
Bring it on home, honey, I'll be your fool
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
Bring it on home to Memphis
