Artist/Band: Rodney Crowell
Lyrics for Song: The Rose Of Memphis
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Rodney Crowell



I drove all the way from Storyville on a midnight Memphis run

From Bourbon Street to Beale Street straight up Highway 61

I was tuned in on radio maybe ten miles out of town

When I heard the rose of Memphis boys that's when I left the ground

I can't go back to Storyville way down there by the sea

Till I can say I got the rose of Memphis coming home with me

She wrapped her song around my heart just like the Kudzu vine

That keeps on growing after dark straight up some lonesome pine

I've got to find that woman now cause my life ain't complete

Man there ain't nobody out there got the rose of Memphis beat

I can't go back to New Orleans that ol' crescent city town

Till I can say I got the rose of Memphis coming on the rounds



Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis

Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis



I love the rose of Memphis man she sings just like a bird

I swear she makes the sweetest sound I think I ever heard

She was born down by the river that ol' river's in her soul

Man they can't nobody touch her when the rose is on a roll

I can't get go back to Louisiana by the Gulf of Mexico

Till I can say I've got the rose of Memphis coming home to show



Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis

Rose of Memphis I love the rose of Memphis
