John & Audrey Wiggins Memory Making Night
written by John Wayne Wiggins Ginger worked in a cafe Small town Tennessee The cook Joe was a little slow But he kept the floor mopped and the kitchen clean Two young people in an old fashioned town They got together when the cafe closed And the Tennessee moon came out They drove down to the river He looked her dead in the eyes He could feel her trembling hands They made love by the river And they held on tight To those memory making nights It happened in the winter After the cafe closed Ginger had a change of heart She'd fallen out of love with Joe Tired of the cafe Life didn't seem right She was getting out of that nowhere town She planned on leaving Joe that night They drove down to the river He looked her dead in the eyes He could feel her trembling hands She told him there by the river Good-bye Another memory making night Joe went crazy When she told him good-bye Now he sits in a small room And thinks about that night He held her down in the river She looked him dead in the eyes He could feel her trembling hands As she lay still in the river Joe cried Another memory making night
