Got a midnight feeling since this afternoon My soul needs the healing of a Memphis moon Cause when the night comes down with a thudding crash My jeans become a gown with a silver sash A hootowl sounds its eerie rhyme I guess its been around for a long long time And while it sings its haunting tune Im gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon Dark waters swell to a riverboats cry The stars all yell, and the willows sigh Deep as death or the mighty Mississipp Just rolling along like shes taking a trip Making her rounds in her muddy shoes Dressing in browns but singing in Blues Midnight fevers gonna hit me soon Im gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet The moon hangs low over Beale street A hootowl sounds its eerie, eerie rhyme I guess its been around for a long long time And while it sings its haunting tune Im gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
