Johnny Rivers Menphis Lyrics

MEMPHIS
 (C. Berry)
 Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
 Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me
 She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call
 'cause my uncle took a 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 south side, high up on the ridge
 Just a half-a-mile from the Mississippi bridge
 Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
 With "hurry home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
 But we were pulled apart because her Mom did 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
