Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Sins of Memphisto (John Prine)
Subject: Lyr Req: & Perfomer? Sins of Memphis?
Heard while driving this morning on our local public radio station. They don't have a play list online and the dj who sets it up won't be back for two weeks.

Anyone know this song? I am not sure of the title but the chorus was "From the bells of St. Mary to Monte Cristo, something, something, the sins, the sins, the sins of Memphis," as best as I can remember. It had an edge to it and the voice was male, almost like Kris Kristofferson, but not quite.

Thanks!
