I sang for my supper, I played for a dollar
From Melbourne to Memphis to hear the blues holler
Gumbo rice and southern clam chowder
When the full moon is rising, voodoo drums beat louder
Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief
Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief
Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim
Helter skelter way down in the delta
Where Elvis is King
President Meggs, Ulysses S. Grant
Your Mama says maybe but your Papa says you can't
All you real sharp cats with your pretty little girls
all you sinners and saved in your diamond and pearls
Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief
Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief
Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim
Helter skelter way down in the delta
Where Elvis is King
I walked through the gates of Graceland in my blue suede shoes
I heard W. C. Handy play the Beale Street blues
There is a street of dreams way down in Tennesse
ln a town called Memphis way down the Mississippi
Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief
Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief
Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim
Helter skelter way down in the delta
Where Elvis is King
Let's be Friends
