Menphis Lyrics - Singles - Rivers Johnny

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
