Colonel KC,

Of course you noted that this is a site for blues and folk music. Chuck Berry is just barely on the edge. Anyway, a good place to search for "pop" music is the On-Line Guitar Archive (OLGA). Click here.

But we are also friendly, so I'll post those words as well. Give them a fish and feed them today, teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetime. So you have the fish and the fishing line. MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS
(Chuck Berry)

Long-distance information, get 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 who placed the call,
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall.

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who called me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge.

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add,
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree,
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Last time I saw Marie, she was wavin' me goodbye,
With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only 6 years old; information please,
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.

Enjoy the music!

Roger in Baltimore
