I was born in Memphis on the wrong side of town
Aku lahir di Memphis di sisi kota yang salah
Way back up in the projects
Jauh di dalam kawasan kumuh
We didn't have much bet there was music all around
Kami tidak punya banyak, tapi ada musik di mana-mana
That was something we could respect
Itu adalah sesuatu yang bisa kami hargai

Memphis got the rhythm Memphis got the soul
Memphis punya ritme, Memphis punya jiwa
And you know that's a good sign
Dan kau tahu itu pertanda baik
It's the home of Elvis, he's the king of rock & roll
Ini adalah rumah Elvis, dia raja rock & roll
And everybody had a good time
Dan semua orang bersenang-senang

Willie's on the corner with his dancing shoes
Willie ada di sudut dengan sepatu dansnya
Perry's in the alley cooking barbeque
Perry di gang sedang masak barbeque
BB's down on Beale Street and he's singing the blues
BB ada di Beale Street dan dia menyanyikan blues

Everybody is alright
Semua orang baik-baik saja
Ain't nobody uptight
Tidak ada yang tegang
Dancing in the moonlight
Menari di bawah sinar bulan
Muddy Mississippi roll on
Mississippi keruh, terus bergulir

Old man river keeps on playing his song
Sungai tua terus memainkan lagunya
It'll get your fingers snapping
Ini akan membuat jarimu bergetar
The first thing you know you're kinda grooving along
Begitu kau tahu, kau mulai bergoyang
And your feet will start to tapping
Dan kakimu akan mulai mengetuk

Have you ever been to Memphis on a Saturday night
Pernahkah kau ke Memphis di malam Sabtu?
When everything is cooking
Saat segalanya sedang ramai
The whole town's rocking the music is hot and the girls are all good looking
Seluruh kota bergoyang, musiknya panas dan cewek-cewek semua cantik

The mighty Mississippi is muddy and wide
Mississippi yang perkasa keruh dan lebar
But there's people driving over from the Arkansas side
Tapi ada orang-orang yang datang dari sisi Arkansas
Get on out amongst us and we'll go for a ride
Bergabunglah dengan kami dan kita akan jalan-jalan

Hanging on the sidewalk
Bergelantungan di trotoar
Talking all that jive talk
Ngobrol dengan gaya santai
Nothing but a nighthawk
Hanya seorang pengembara malam
Muddy Mississippi roll on
Mississippi keruh, terus bergulir
