Cinco de Mayo In Memphis    (2006)

Meanwhile down on Beale Street
Drinking in a Beale Street bar
There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi
Has anybody seen Arkansas?
And the deckhands from the tow boats
Come ashore wearing Mexican shoes
They headed straight for Graceland
It was the first thing they wanted to do

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachi's singing the blues
Southern belles and Senoritas
All sporting blue suede shoes

Pork pie hats and sombreros
Hanging on a downtown street
Swinging pool cues at Piñatas
Don't that river smell sweet?
And they all come to get them some Memphis
A little something for their souls
Jumper cables and limos
Hey, they all came to rock and roll

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachi's singing the blues
Southern belles and Senoritas
All sporting blue suede shoes

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
Mariachi's singing the blues
Southern belles and Senoritas
All sporting blue suede shoes

Lyrics by Guy Clark and Chuck Mead.
