[Verse 1]
I plucked a rose from her garden
And I laid it softly on her head
And I kneel down by the tombstone
And I began to weep, and call out her name
[Chorus]
Oh, it's crying time in Memphis
And ain't nobody here to cry, but me
Oh, it's goodbye time in Memphis
And ain't nobody here to say goodbye, but me
[Verse 2]
I remember so clearly how we used to kiss
And the way she laid her body close to mine
And the way she tried so hard to please me
When we madе love time after timе
I look around for all her friends
The ones, that said they loved her so
But now she's gone, and I'm standing here all alone
Deep down in my heart I'm hurting, so...
[Verse 3]
Oh, I've got to leave this town they call Memphis
You see, I'm sad I lost they only one I ever loved
And for me, nothing will ever be the same
Ain't need any more time, they done engraved her name
[Chorus]
Oh, it's crying time in Memphis
But ain't nobody here to cry, but me
Oh, it's goodbye time in Memphis
And ain't nobody here to cry, but me
[Outro]
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
May the angels watch over you in the sky
Goodbye, baby, goodbye, goodbye...
