Memphis

Lyrics for Memphis

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call 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 who'd call 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 cannot add Only that I miss her and all the times we had But we were torn apart, because her ma did not agree She 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 times we had But we were torn apart, because her ma did not agree She tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye Marie is only six years old, oh, information, please Try and put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
