"Memphis Tennessee" lyrics
(originally by Chuck Berry)
Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee.
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me.
She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call.
But my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall!
Help me information get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the Southside high upon the ridge
Just a half from a mile from the Mississippi bridge.
Help me information more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we have.
But we were pulled apart 'Cause her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye.
With hurry homedrops on her cheek that trickles from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old information please!
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me.
She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call.
But my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall!
Help me information get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the Southside high upon the ridge
Just a half from a mile from the Mississippi bridge.
Help me information more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we have.
But we were pulled apart 'Cause her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye.
With hurry homedrops on her cheek that trickles from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old information please!
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
