Memphis Man by Ethel Waters Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back home, a little cabin
And a soft little rappin'
A creeping and a easin'
And a sound oh-so teasin'

[Verse 2]
Memphis man comes knockin' at the door
Knock like nobody ever knocked before
If you know your business, let him in
'Cause he's so different when lovin' begins

[Verse 3]
Memphis man, the lovin'-est man I know
Loves you like you never been loved before
Love you while he's talkin', love you while he sings
With his eyes and hands and a few other things
If you wanna please me, love me like a Memphis man

[Verse 4]
Why, a Memphis man knows more 'bout lovin' than the rest
He loves you just when it feels the best
Love you when he's workin', love you when he plays
He could write a book on his lovin' ways
If you wanna please me, love me like a Memphis man
