  • Music Makin' Mama From Memphis by Hank Snow Lyrics



    Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans
    She's my music makin' mama from Memphis, Tennessee

    She'll play a little rhythm, do the boogie up right
    A Tennessee polka, maybe blues in the night
    Ever'body travels from near and far
    To hear her when she picks it on that old guitar
    My music makin' mama from Memphis, Tennessee

    You can hear her in the ev'nin', when the sun sinks low
    A-singin' and a-pickin on that old banjo
    You wanta jive when the words roll out of her mouth
    Ever'body's callin' her the Queen of the South
    She's my fiddle playin' mama from Memphis, Tennessee

    You gotta start dancin' when she gets in the groove
    Picks a big bass fiddle or yodels the blues
    Plays a downbeat, offbeat, any old beat
    A breakdown, a hoedown and does it up neat
    She's my bass pickin' baby from Memphis, Tennessee

    You'll know when my baby is a-comin' to town
    All the jive-jumpin' jitterbugs, they gather around
    They keep a-yellin' to my queenie, now, honey, let's go
    My baby starts pickin' and a pickin' down low
    My music makin' mama from Memphis, Tennessee

    (Repeat 2nd verse)
