Memphis Tennessee

Bob Luman

Compositor: Chuck Berry

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
And help me find the party try 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

Yeah help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the southside high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

[ guitar ]
Yeah help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had
We were torn apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Yeah the last time I saw Marie she was a waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
Marie was only six years old information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
