Motel In Memphis歌詞

Were you there when the man
From Atlanta was murdered in
Memphis?Did you see him layin' at the low rent hotel?
Did you hear them say that the
CIA is witness
To the murder of a man at a motel in
Memphis?Motel in
Memphis, motel in
MemphisRun and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water rollin' through
MemphisIf you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
Did you see
Coretta?She was sobbin' in the corner in a black veil
Did you see
Mr. Crump in a white coat grin?
Did you walk down river where the cotton woods are swingin'
With ghostly bodies of man?

MemphisRun and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water rollin' through
MemphisIf you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
Were you there with
Mahalya wailin' at the funeral?
Did you watch them lower his casket in?
Did you tremble when you thought about the future
And cry out for a modern man?
