Never thought of Hades
Under the Mississippi
But still I've come to sing for him

So southern furies
Prepare to walk for my harp
I have strung, and I will leave with him

Relax the cogs of rhyme
Over the Memphis sky
Turn back the wheels of time

Under the Memphis skyline
always hated him for the way he looked
In the gaslight of the morning

Then came hallelujah sounding like Ophelia
for me in my room living
So kiss me, my darling stay with me till morning

Turn back and you will stay
Under the Memphis Skyline
