Grand Old Blues

Conway Twitty · Cross Wind [1979]

(Billy Sherrill - Troy Seals)



I sure am gonna miss them old twin fiddles

I love to sing them good ole country songs

But my whole world's a blue eyed girl, in Memphis

And I'd be down there with her, for too long.



Midnight train to Memphis take me easy

Let me look back on the things I'm gonna lose

Nashville will never know I'm leavin'

And it gives a country boy them grand ole blues.



--- Instrumental --



I wish I had my old guitar to play

I feel some good ole mem'ry fade away



Oh Lord, I see the main street lights of Memphis

And that woman leaves me shakin' in my shoes

Oh, woman's lips will kiss me her lovin' arms will hold me

And help me make it through these grand ole blues.



But Lord, I'm gonna miss tham old twin fiddles

And it gives a country boy the grand ole blues.



Her love is waitin' there in Memphis

And don't you know it leaves me shakin' in my shoes

Oh. woman's lips will kiss me her lovin' arms will hold me

And help me make it through these grand ole blues.



Oh Lord, I see the main street lights of Memphis

And that woman's standin', shakin' in her shoes

Oh, woman's lips will kiss me her lovin' arms will hold me

And help me make it through these grand ole blues...
