Music Making Mama From Memphis - Hank Snow

She’ll play a little rhythm do the boogie up right

The Tennessee polka maybe blues in the night

Everybody travels from near and far

To hear her when she picks it on that old guitar

She’s my music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

Break (guitar)

You can hear her in the evening when the sun sinks low

A singin' and a pickin' on that old banjo

You wanna jive when the words roll out of her mouth

Everybody’s callin' her the Queen of the South

She’s my fiddle playin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

Break (fiddle)

You gotta start dancin' when she gets in the groove

Picks the big bass fiddle or yodels the blues

Plays the down beat, off beat, any old beat

A breakdown, a hoedown and does it up neat

She’s my bass pickin' baby from Memphis Tennessee

Break (bass)

You’ll know when my baby is a comin' to town

All the jive jumpin' jitterbugs they gather around

They keep yellin' to my queenie now honey let’s go

My baby starts a pickin' and a pickin' down low

My music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

Break (guitar)

She’ll play a little rhythm do the boogie up right

The Tennessee polka maybe blues in the night

Everybody travels from near and far

To hear her when she picks it on that old guitar
