Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Mean Mary James performing "Memphis Moon" at the Opening Bell Café, Dallas Great Night!.
"Memphis Moon" written by Mean Mary James and her mother Jean James
lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Got a midnight feelin’ since this afternoon
My soul needs the healin’ of the Memphis moon
‘Cause when the night comes down with a thudding crash
My jeans become a gown with a silver sash
[Chorus]
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme
I guess it’s been around for a long, long time
And while it sings its haunting tune
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Dark waters swell to a riverboat’s cry
The stars all yell, and the willows sigh
Deep as death, oh, the Mighty Mississip’
Just rollin’ along like she’s takin’ a trip
[Chorus]
Makin’ her rounds in her muddy shoes
Dressin’ in browns, but singin’ in blues
Midnight fever’s gonna hit me soon
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
[Instrumental]]
[Bridge]
Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet
The moon hangs low over Beale Street
[Chorus]
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme
I guess it’s been around for a long, long time
And while it sings its haunting tune
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon
[Outro]"
