Lyrics:
Were you there when the man from Atlanta was Murdered in Memphis? Did you see him laying at the Lorraine Motel? 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 Oh muddy water Rollin' to Memphis If you were there you'd swear It was more then a man who died Did you see Coretta she was sobbing on The corner in her black veil? Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin? Did you walk downriver where the cottonwoods are swinging With ghostly bodies of men? [Chorus:] Were you there with Mahalia wailing 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 martyred man? [Chorus:]
