Verse:
Up Memphis, music’s like a heat wave
White lightning’ bound to drive you wild
Ma’s baby’s in the heart of every schoolgirl
“Love me tender” leaves ’em cryin’ in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for

-6 6 -6 -6 6 5
It hap-pened so soon

-3 5 -3 5 5
What could you do
