Broke family/Apart, Memphis Tennessee, Sealed With A Kiss
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 11:25 am
I think just one song posting was lost recently, the great broken-family song Memphis Tennessee by Chuck Berry. Covers were I believe recorded by Johnny Rivers, The Faces, Rod Stewart, The Beatles, Elvis Presley (with a happy ending added) and others.
Memphis Tennessee, by Chuck Berry.
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 can not add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
Marie and I were pulled apart 'cause her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
With 'hurry home' drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eye.
Marie is only six years old, Information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.
. Listen
Of course we today would not use a landline phone company Information, but would use Google or other internet search to locate someone or their phone number !
