网友点评

在录制《Memphis Tennessee》时,Chuck Berry突发奇想,决定在歌曲中加入一段即兴萨克斯风独奏。他邀请到当时的萨克斯风大师加入录制,两人一拍即合,这段萨克斯风独奏成为了歌曲的点睛之笔。录制过程中,Chuck Berry还特意穿着一件复古的白色西装,以展现对家乡的怀念之情。这段花絮成为了歌迷津津乐道的幕后故事。

歌词

[02:07.00]Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee

[02:07.00]Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

[02:07.00]She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call

[02:07.00]'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

[02:07.00]Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie

[02:07.00]She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee

[02:07.00]Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge

[02:07.00]Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

[02:07.00]Help me, information, more than that I cannot add

[02:07.00]Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

[02:07.00]But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree

[02:07.00]And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

[02:07.00]Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye

[02:07.00]With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

[02:07.00]Marie is only 6 years old, information, please

[02:07.00]Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
