Cinco De Mayo In Memphis Lyrics - Guy Clark

Meanwhile down on Biel Street 

Drinking in a Biel Street bar 

There's a fog rollin' off the Mississippi 

Has anybody seen Arkansas? 

And the deckhands from the toll boats 

Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes 

They headed strait for Graceland 

It was the first thing they wanted to do 

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis 

Marchetti singin' the blues 

Soul sisters hugging Senoritas 

All sportin' Blue suede shoes 

Pork pie hats and sombreros 

Hangin' on a downtown street 

Swingin' pool cues at Pinatas 

Don't that river smell sweet? 

And they all come to get 'em some Memphis 

A little somethin' for their souls 

'Lone riders land up with limousines 

Hey, they all came to rock and roll 

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis 

Marchetti singin' the blues 

Southern belles and Senoritas 

All sportin' Blue suede shoes 

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis 

Marchetti singin' the blues 

Soul sisters hugging Senoritas 

All sportin' Blue suede shoes
