Motel in Memphis Lyrics


Were you there when the man
From Atlanta was murdered in Memphis?
Did you see him layin' at the low rent hotel?
Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness
To the murder of a man at a motel in Memphis?Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who diedDid you see Coretta?
She was sobbin' in the corner in a black veil
Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin?
Did you walk down river where the cotton woods are swingin'
With ghostly bodies of man?Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who diedWere you there with Mahalya wailin' at the funeral?
Did you watch them lower his casket in?
Did you tremble when you thought about the future
And cry out for a modern man?Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis

Run and tell somebody there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water rollin' through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died

Old Crow Medicine Show is a folk/country group from Nashville, Tennessee. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. The style of music they perform is sometimes called alt-country, but today more often referred to as Americana.

Their 2004 album "O.C.M.S." was selected by CMT (Country Music Television) as one of the top-10 bluegrass albums of that year. Their current tour includes bars, festivals, and larger venues. They are best experienced in smaller settings, where their infectious high-energy style electrifies the crowd, often a mixture of older listeners and 20-somethings.

They make frequent guest appearances on A Prairie Home Companion.

The song Wagon Wheel is written based off a chorus composed by Bob Dylan for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
