It's Crying Time in Memphis

I plucked a rose from her garden

And I laid it softly on her head

And I kneeled down by the tombstone

And I began to weep and call out her name

Oh, it's crying time in Memphis

And ain't nobody here to cry but me

Oh, it's goodbye time in Memphis

And ain't nobody here to say goodbye but me

I remember so clearly how we used to kiss

And the way she laid her body close to mine

And the way she tried so hard to please me

When we made love time after time

I look around for all her friends

The ones that said they loved her so

But now she's gone and I'm standing here all alone

Deep down in my heart, I'm hurting so

Oh, I've got to leave this town they call Memphis

You see, I'm sad, I lost the only one I ever loved

And for me, nothing will ever be the same

They didn't lose no time, they done engraved her name

Oh, it's crying time in Memphis

But ain't nobody here to cry but me

Oh, it's goodbye time in Memphis

And ain't nobody here to cry but me

Goodbye, my love, goodbye

May the angels watch over you in the sky

Goodbye, baby, goodbye, goodbye
