Now what makes Memphis women love a rounder so
Now what makes Memphis women, baby, love a rounder so
'Cause he takes his time, doin' the work everywhere he goes
I don't drink whiskey but I'm crazy about my wine
I don't drink whiskey but I'm crazy about my wine
If you take my good gal, I give you trouble all the time
There's only four places in Memphis that I would like to go
Only four places in Memphis, I said that I would like to go
Where I could have a good time and do my work everywhere I go
Spoken: Aw, whip it now, whip it again
Throwed up my hands, clasped before the sun
Throwed up my hands, clasped before the sun
I might take my time with the work that I have once have done
Said I'm gonna sing this verse, I said I wasn't gonna sing no more
I'm gonna sing this verse, I said I wasn't gonna sing no more
If you hear me doin' any singing, you'll have to be standin' around my door
