Were you there when the man from Atlanta was murdered in Memphis Did you see him layin' at the low rent hotel Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness To the murder of a man at a motel in Memphis [Chorus:] Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside Old muddy water, rollin' through Memphis If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died Did you see Coretta she's sobbin' on the corner in a black veil Did you see Mr Crump in a white coat grin Did you walk down river where the cotton woods are swingin' With ghostly bodies of man [Chorus:] Were you there with Mahalia wailin' at the funeral Did you watch them lower his casket in Did you tremble when you thought about the future And cry out for a modern man [Chorus:]
