Memphis Lyrics by John Cale

Animal Justice

0

[Verse 1]
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

[Verse 2]
Help me, Information, more than that I cannot add
Except how much I miss her and all the fun we had
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just about a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

[Verse 3]
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Except how much I miss her and all the fun we had
Tore apart because her mum did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

[Verse 4]
Well the last time that I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
The hurry home drops on her cheek trickling from her eye
But Marie she's only six years old, Information, please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
