Lyrics - A Storms a-coming (Memphis Blues)

Sky gone yellow over Beale Street tonight
Heat sittin’ heavy, even the river don’t bite
Man sellin’ fortunes from a fold-up chair
Said “Son, pack light — trouble’s in the air”

Wind talkin’ low through the alleyway door
Every loose tin sign sayin’ “seen this before”

A storm’s a-coming, yeah I feel it in my bones
Thunder in the distance like the city’s crackin’ stones
A storm’s a-coming, hear that low train hum
When Beale Street goes quiet, you know what’s gonna come

Piano cryin’ soft in a half-lit bar
Bartender watchin’ lightning split the dark
Dice quit rollin’, cards laid flat
Even bad luck step back when the clouds do that

Neon flicker like it’s scared to shine
Clock won’t move, but it’s runnin’ outta time

A storm’s a-coming, smell rain on dust
Promises wash clean, secrets turn to rust
A storm’s a-coming, don’t matter who you are
Rich man shiver same as the broke man’s heart

Rain start tappin’ like a drummer testin’ skin
Harmonica moan like it knows who’s gonna win
Mama used to say when the river pull tight
Something gonna change ‘fore the mornin’ light

Umbrella turn inside out, laugh or cry
Truth fall hard from a Memphis sky
When that thunder roll call my name
I won’t run — I’ll let it rain

A storm’s a-coming, yeah I hear it loud and clear
Washed-up lies and washed-up fear
A storm’s a-coming, let it break and bend
When the clouds move on, I’ll still be standin’ in the end
