SUMMARY
The song tells the story of a free-spirited, unforgettable woman who embodied passion, independence, and contradiction. Wild yet warm, strong yet vulnerable, she lived by her own rules and followed her dreams without compromise. Though deeply loved, she was never meant to stay—eventually moving on and leaving behind longing and loneliness. “Lady Memphis” becomes a symbol of youthful love, freedom, and the bittersweet beauty of someone who passes through your life but stays forever in your memory.
LYRICS

She was young
Younger than the morning sun
With eyes of bright
Shining warm in the light
She had a hold
A hold on me constantly
Hey, hey,
She meant ev‘rything to me
She was a wild horse
Out in the wide
But in her way
She was like a Southern child
She had a dream
To follow the stream
Hey, hey,
She told me her name was
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
I followed her for just a while
She was a woman
More than anything
And she was free
As an eagle on steady wings
She had her pride
Knowing that she was right
No one to tell her:
“Do this! – Stop that!”
She was a clown
And she was a mother
A little girl
With the tension of a lover
She liked to rule
But she wouldn‘t ever listen
Hey, hey,
How am I missin’ my
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
For she was gone one day
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
She‘s got no goal
‘Till the moment she‘ll move on
A solitair
‘Though she‘ll never be alone
I always knew
That one day she‘d let me down
Leaving me
With only loneliness around
She‘s on her way
Travelling the river line
A rolling stone
Someone of a diff‘rent kind
She‘s got her dream
To follow the stream
Hey, hey,
You‘re in my dreams, my
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
Lady Memphis
I wish you well my love
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
Lady Memphis…
