Memphis Women and Chicken Dan Penn

[Intro, spoken]
Huh-huh-huh-huh
I see the sign "Memphis 25 miles"
Goes like this

[Verse 1]
I'm headin' into Memphis, Memphis Tennessee
Is one place in this world I can get somethin' good to eat
I'm hungry for some lovin' and some fried chicken
Goes down greasy and finger-lickin'
I know just where to go, there's this woman I know
She sets it up right and lets it simmer real slow

[Chorus]
With that Memphis women 'n' fried chicken
Memphis women 'n' fried chicken

[Verse 2]
Over on Union there's a good ol' gal
She can smoke a pig, she can fry some fowl
She got biscuits in her oven, cornbread in the pan
I get by to see her ev'ry chance I can
I catch a whiff when I turn the corner
My mouth starts to water, and I'm a goner

[Chorus]
For that Memphis women and fried chicken
Memphis women 'n' chicken
