Memphis Tennessee Songtext
von The Barbarians

Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party
Who tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But I know the place to call
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 call 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


Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
Hurry home drops on her cheeks
That trickled from her eyes
Marie and I were parted
′Cause 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
All the fun we've had
Marie is only six years old
Information, please
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis!
