Verse 1
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high.
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
The boy could soon know how to move everything;
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Verse 2
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
White lightening, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Break
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you dooooooooooo-?
