Memphis (Live At The Municipal Auditorium, Birmingham, Alabama/1964)

Alright, baby, here's one we hope you enjoy
Hope we can get it right this time
A little groovy tune that recently sold about
I guess a couple of hundred thousand records for a very fine gentlemen
And we'd like to do our version of this song for ya
A little thing called "Memphis, Tennessee"

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party that's 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

Now help me, information, more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her, Memphis, Tennessee

Oh, help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who's 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

Whoa, the last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
Hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie was pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
Alright

Woo, thank you very much, ladies and gentleman
