Memphis Tennessee Lyrics

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
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall, oh yeah

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She′s the only one who'd phone me here from Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just about half a mile from the Mississippi bridge, oh yeah

Ah, play it now
Let′s take it up about half a tone

Ah, help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
We were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home down in Memphis, Tennessee, uh-huh

Well, I'm on my way down to Memphis, Tennessee (Tennessee)
Said I'm on my way down to Memphis, Tennessee (Tennessee)
I said I′m on my way down to Memphis, Tennessee (Tennessee)
Mm, on my way down to Memphis, Tennessee (Tennessee)

So baby, don′t you get uptight, everything's gonna be alright
Soon as I get rolling down in Memphis, Tennessee
