Lyrics

I'd like to dedicate this to Mr. Charles Berry
Memphis information down in Memphis, Tennessee
Try to get the party trying to get in touch with me
You do not have to tell me who it was who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Memphis information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side way up on a ridge
About a half a mile from that Mississippi bridge
The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
We were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
Ah, Memphis 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
Help me get in touch with her in Memphis, Tennessee
Written by: Chuck Berry
