Hey what's the news from the mighty Mississippi
Is there still some work to be found
I heard you'd gotten tired of the river
And now you're on your way back to town
I wonder what you'll say when you see me
I wonder if we'll laugh untill we cry
I wonder if you'll tell me of this woman
And what she did to you to make you cry
Well I heard you was coming home from Memphis
With a heavy heart and trouble on your mind
They say you're comin' back to Asheville
To decide what to do with yourself now
That big idea you had was a good one
Your dreams were all coming true
I hate to say it but I'm the one that told you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
My friend this ain't the first time that it's happened
Don't feel so bad, you're not the first to fall
They say there's one born every minute
And the gamblin man will always lose it all
Well I once knew this boy who left for Memphis
He thought he had it thicker down the line
But it didn't take him long to remember
How to hand it all over to the women and the wine
Well I heard you were coming home from Memphis
With a heavy heart and trouble on your mind
They say you're comin back to Asheville
To decide what to do with yourself now
That big idea you had was a good one
Your dreams were all coming true
I hate to say it but I'm the one that told you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
I'm glad to hear you're coming back to see us
A little home time is just what you need
Your folks will all be happy to see you
And they can help you get yourself back on your feet
Well your friends, they will all be waiting for you
At that happy place on the drinking side of town
They call it the Grey Eagle Tavern
Friendliest people and the coldest beer in town
Well I heard you were coming home from Memphis
With a heavy heart and trouble on your mind
They say you're comin back to Asheville
To decide what to do with yourself now
That big idea you had was a good one
It all seemed to good to be true
I hate to say it but I'm the one that told you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you, Memphis girls
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
Is there still some work to be found
I heard you'd gotten tired of the river
And now you're on your way back to town
I wonder what you'll say when you see me
I wonder if we'll laugh untill we cry
I wonder if you'll tell me of this woman
And what she did to you to make you cry
Well I heard you was coming home from Memphis
With a heavy heart and trouble on your mind
They say you're comin' back to Asheville
To decide what to do with yourself now
That big idea you had was a good one
Your dreams were all coming true
I hate to say it but I'm the one that told you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
My friend this ain't the first time that it's happened
Don't feel so bad, you're not the first to fall
They say there's one born every minute
And the gamblin man will always lose it all
Well I once knew this boy who left for Memphis
He thought he had it thicker down the line
But it didn't take him long to remember
How to hand it all over to the women and the wine
Well I heard you were coming home from Memphis
With a heavy heart and trouble on your mind
They say you're comin back to Asheville
To decide what to do with yourself now
That big idea you had was a good one
Your dreams were all coming true
I hate to say it but I'm the one that told you
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you

Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you, Memphis girls
Them Memphis girls will make a fool out of you
