Lyrics for Song: Memphis, Tennessee
Lyrics for Album: Covers The Hits [2000]
(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 her number but I know who placed the call
'Cause 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 for me here, from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge.
Help me information, more than that I can not add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Well, Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.
So long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me
Well, Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee...
