Guy Clark
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
[Verse 1]
Meanwhile down on Biel Street
Drinking in a Biel Street bar
There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi
Has anybody seen Arkansas?
And the deckhands from the toll boats
Come ashore wearing Mexican shoes
They headed strait for Graceland
It was the first thing they wanted to do

[Chorus]
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Marchetti singing the blues
Soul sisters hugging Senoritas
All sporting Blue suede shoes

[Verse 2]
Pork pie hats and sombreros
Hanging on a downtown street
Swinging pool cues at Pinatas
Don't that river smell sweet?
And they all come to get them some Memphis
A little something for their souls
Alone riders land up with limousines
Hey, they all came to rock and roll
[Chorus][x2]
