          MEMPHIS WOMEN AND CHICKEN    T Graham Brown
E
Well I'm headin' into Memphis, Memphis Tennessee
E
The one place in this world I can get something good to eat
      A
I'm hungry for some loving and some fried chicken
E
That goes down greasy, finger lickin'
   B    
I know just where to go there's this woman I know
      A                         Bb    Bb    B    
She shakes it up right let it simmer real slow
E
Memphis Women and fried chicken   Memphis Women and chicken
E
Over on Union there's a good old gal
E
She can smoke a pig she can fry some fowl
            A
She got biscuits in her oven cornbread in the pan
E
I get by to see her every chance I can
    B
I catch a whiff when I turn the corner
     A                        Bb   Bb  B
My mouth starts to water and I'm a gon-er
E
For the Memphis women and fried chicken Memphis women and chicken
A
Yeah, I take my old guitar and I go down on Beale
E
Play some good blues and get a real good meal
A
I don't care if the whiskey ever hits my lips
    B 
As long as I get a taste of them bar-b-que ribs    go to lead
E
There's a woman up on the bluff make her living making pies
E
Got chocolate covered fingers and dark blueberry eyes
      A
Got that light powdered sugar sprinkled all in her hair
E                                               B 
Her apple turnover is beyond compare when it's hot late and sticky
B                                           A
And you want something cool and sweet she keeps the handle crankin
         Bb       Bb   B     E
On that homemade ice cream Memphis women and good fried chicken
