Motel in Memphis

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
