Motel In Memphis Lyrics - Tennessee Pusher - Old Crow Medicine Show

Were you there when the man 

From Atlanta was murdered in Memphis? 

Did you see him layin' at the Lorraine motel? 

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 Memphis 

Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside 

Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis 

If 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? 

 

Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis 

Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside 

Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis 

If 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? 

 

Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis 

Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside 

Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis 

If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
