[Verse 1]
D7
Listen to a story 'bout a gal I know
         D
She's my music makin' mama I'm her hillbilly beau
      G7                              G
She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
D7                       D
Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans
         A7                     A             D7   D
She's my music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee
 
[Chorus]
       D7
She'll play a little rhythm, do the boogie up right
    D
The Tennessee polka, maybe blues in the night
G7                     G
Everybody travels from near and far
   D7                         D
To hear her when she picks it on that old guitar
         A7                     A             D7   D
She's my music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

[Verse 2]
        D7
You can hear her in the evening when the sun sinks low
D
Singin' and a pickin' on that old banjo
          G7                       G
You wanna jive when the words roll out of her mouth
D7                          D
Everybody's callin' her the Queen of the South
         A7                       A             D7   D
She's my fiddle playin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

[Verse 3]
    D7
You gotta start dancin' when she gets in the groove
          D
Picks the big bass, fiddle or yodels the blues
          G7                   G
Plays the down beat, off beat, any old beat
  D7                       D
A breakdown, a hoedown and does it up neat
         A7                     A             D7   D
She's my bass pickin' baby from Memphis Tennessee
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
       D7
You'll know when my baby is a comin' to town
        D
All the jive jumpin' jitterbugs they gather around
          G7                        G
They keep yellin' to my queenie now honey let's go
   D7                        D
My baby starts pickin' and a pickin' down low
   A7                     A             D7   D
My music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee

G7                     G
Everybody travels from near and far
   D7                         D
To hear her when she picks it on that old guitar
         A7                     A              D7  D
She's my music makin' mama from Memphis Tennessee
