The Hollies
Memphis
(Chuck Berry)
Track 6 on album 'Stay With The Hollies' January 1964

{intro}

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 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 the 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.

Whoa - shake.

{interlude}

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 eyes.
Marie is only six years old, oh information, please,
try and put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.

Whoa - shake.
