"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.

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.
