John in Brisbane Lyr Req: Snakey Blues/Memphis Blues - W.C. Handy (8) Lyr Req: Snakey Blues/Memphis Blues - W.C. Handy 18 Oct 04

I saw a reference online (at Amazon) that Handy's 'Snakey Blues' was re-named 'Memphis Blues' with lyrics added at that time. I've Googled but found no reference to the actual lyrics. Any clues please.

A MIDI of 'Snakey Blues' can be found HERE, but attributed to Will Nash 1915.

But according to this site, Handy published 'Memphis Blues' on 28 September 1912.

Can anyone shed light on this or provide lyrics to Memphis Blues.

Regards, John
