♬ MEMPHIS TENNESSEE [Chuck Berry · Memphis Slim]

Lyrics & credits below:
Long distance information,
give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party
trying to get in touch with me
She could 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 phone 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 fun we had
But we were pulled apart
because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home
in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie
she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old,
information please
Try to put me through to her
in Memphis Tennessee
