There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done It's shining through the smoke from the barrel of my gun That moon over Memphis it don't understand That moon over Memphis it just don't understand lord That I found my woman in the arms of another man And the sun in Chicago it won't ask me why I ran away from Memphis and a man had to die There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done It's shining through the smoke from the barrel of my gun That moon over Memphis is hanging like a judge That moon over Memphis is hanging like a judge It's showing no mercy on a man who held a grudge And the stars up in heaven will never see my face For what I did in Memphis can never be erased There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done It's shining through the smoke from the barrel of my gun There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done It's shining through the smoke from the barrel of my gun There's a moon over Memphis There's a moon over Memphis There's a moon over Memphis looking down on what I've done
