Where I know he's sleeping
And my thoughts of him's keeping
my mind's gone to Memphis,
With nothings to thank on
Except that he's gone away
All alone to face the breaking
With no sunlight to shine
And take the lonely night away
My mind's gone to Memphis,
where I wish I was sleeping
Laying softly beside him,
when it's crazy to keep holdin' on
My mind's gone to Memphis
My mind's gone to Memphis
