Nina Simone - Memphis In June lyrics

(1945) Paul Francis Webster, Hoagy Carmichael

Memphis in June

A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky

Memphis in June

And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie

I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking

Everything so peaceful and dandy

I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking

Watching all the neighbours go by oh my

Memphis in June

Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere

Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander

It's paradise honey take my advice honey

Cos there's nothing loke old Memphis in June
