Memphis, Tennessee Lyrics by Bobby Bare
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Chuck Berry)

Long distance information get me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party try to get in touch with me
She would 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 call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the southside, it's high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

--- Instrumental ---

The last time I saw Marie she was a waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Help me information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee...
