Who’s a-gonna stroke your coal-black hair
And sandy-colored skin
Who’s a-gonna kiss your Memphis lips
When I’m out in the wind
When I’m out in the wind, babe
When I’m out in the wind
Who’s a-gonna kiss your Memphis mouth
When I’m out in the wind

Who’s a-gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything’s alright
Who’s a-gonna sing to you all day long
And not just in the night
Who’s a-gonna walk you side by side
Who’s a-gonna be your man
Who’s a-gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand

Hold your bad luck hand, babe
Hold your bad luck hand
Who’s a-gonna hold your hard luck hand
And who’s a-gonna be your man

The winter wind is a blowing strong
My hands have got no gloves
I wish to my soul I could see
The girl I’m a-thinking of.
