Memphis, Tennessee

Chuck Berry

1. Long-distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee
   Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me
   She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
   'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall

2. Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
   She's the only one who called me here from Memphis, Tennessee
   Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge
   Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge


3. Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
   Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
   But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree
   Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

4. Last time I saw Marie, she was wavin' me goodbye
   With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
   Marie is only 6 years old; information please
   Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
