Johnny Rivers - Blue Suede Shoes Lyrics
MemphisArtist: Johnny Rivers (peak Billboard position # 2 in 1964)Words and Music by Chuck Berry, who recorded it as "Memphis, Tennessee" in1959.Also a # 5 instrumental hit for Lonnie Mack in 1963.Long distance information, give me Memphis TennesseeHelp me find a party that tried to get in touch with meShe could not leave a number but I know who placed the call'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wallHelp me, information, get in touch with my MarieShe's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis TennesseeHer home is on the south side, high upon a ridgeJust a half a mile from the Mississippi bridgeLast time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbyeWith "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyeBut we were pulled apart because her mom did not agreeAnd tore apart our happy home in Memphis TennesseeHelp me, information, more than that I cannot addOnly that I miss her and all the fun we hadMarie is only six years old, information pleaseTry to put me through to her in Memphis TennesseeTranscribed by Ronald E.
