"It Ain't Snowing in Memphis" Looking out the window. Feeling cold inside. It ain't snowing in Memphis. Chilling to the bone. Baby by my side. It ain't snowing in Memphis. How I wish I were in Memphis. Walking down Beale St. Sipping on a Coke. Hearing BB sing the Blues. Cause it ain't snowing in Memphis. Cause it ain't snowing in Memphis.
Great album. It is fast becoming my favorite BB King album. Hopefully BB will consider touring Australia soon
I love B.B.King being from Mississippi and growing up listening to him all my life has been a pleasure. Mr. King keep up the good work and keep making Mississippi proud.
