Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave a 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'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me, information, more than that 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 in Memphis Tennessee

1. Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsjPDil6N-Q

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. always have liked a song about Memphis

don't know why :shrug:

[RandomThoughts]

19. I love that song!

Interesting side note

Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain


Delta is the math symbol for change.

[Ghost in the Machine]

3. Midnight Train to Memphis - Kid Rock

This tune is off his Cocky Album track 11.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr0heK-5LEA


"Midnight Train To Memphis"

I was hiding from the sun once again
I was running from the time my friend
I've lost another war
So, I poured one more and went home drunk again
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes - she'd be gone before the evenin'

So, I poured another strong one and chopped a line from here to Texas
Cause I've lost another good one - she's on the midnight train to Memphis
With a brand new start, I swore I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days than the one's that's here this mornin'
With a wife and kids at home with a job some where on some assembly line
I wish I had that life - I bet you wish you had mine
So, let's pour another tall one and chop a line from here to Texas
Cause I've lost another good one - she's on the midnight train to Memphis


Dude, what station is this? K snooze?
Kid Rock I thought he was the American bad ass
He's putting me to sleep. Nudge me if he gets over five decibals.
I knew his first album was a good one

But that's the way I am
And this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude
Shit
So fuck a bitch
So fuck a bitch
So fuck a bitch
I won't switch won't quit my vices
Flip the script cause I'm gonna slice the righteous
Haven't you heard I don't refrain
Free as a bird and so I won't change
Livin it up Givin it up fuckin shit up
What
I'm gonna run my track from the D to Nantucket
So fuck it - If you don't dig that, you can suck it.

And it don't
And it don't

With an old suitcase, I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind. So, I'll see you when I'm sober.
I been looking for some reasons, but I ain't found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis.

4. Memphis in the Meantime - John Hiatt Lowell, MA 8-22-08

http://www.youtube.com/v/1fX1kNzDcb8&hl=en&fs=1

I got something to say little girl
You might not like my style
But weve been hanging around this town
Just a little too long a while

You say youre gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I dont get outta here pretty soon
My heads going to explode

Sure I like country music
I like mandolins
But right now I need a telecaster
Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten

Chorus:
Lets go to memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I wanna trade in these ol country boots
For some fine italian shoes

Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar
We dont need none of that
Just a little dabll do ya girl
Underneath a pork pie hat

Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I dont think ronnie milsaps gonna ever
Record this song

Chorus twice

Bridge:
Maybe theres nothin happenin there
Maybe theres somethin in the air
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol whiff

If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get a decent meal
Down at the rendez-vous

cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, its gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin

And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come back home
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac
And change the message on the cord-a-phone

But...

Chorus

7. Meet Me in Memphis

Jimmy Buffett/Michael Utley

He's holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavernier Hotel
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell
By days he pulls the trap line
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge and his phone

Meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be
I'm by the river, please come back to me
Meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
And nothin' replaces me next to you

He's been there since she ran away
She said she needs some space
Occasionally she still calls collect
From some god forsaken place

Then one day a letter came
Postmarked Tennessee
And the envelope scent
And the postage spent
Well it lit up her old memory

Meet me in Memphis
That's what she said
Too much for a letter, please come here instead
Meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
Still nothing replaces me next to you

I know she could break my heart again
But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win
Where Otis would play
Da da da dock of the bay

Meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be
I'm by the river, you're by the sea
Oh please, meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
Still nothing replaces me next to you

[Left Is Write]

10. Wrong Side Of Memphis

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
And I ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

[bluesbassman]

11. ZZ Top - My Head's in Mississippi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn9kEMEX2so

I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
The blues has got a hold of me.
I believe I'm gettin' dizzy. (Help me now.)
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
I thought I was in Heaven.
But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot
of an invisible seven eleven. (What was I doin out there?)
Where's my head baby?
Somewhere in Mississippi.
Last night I saw a cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
And last night I saw a naked cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf
about some voodoo healin'. (Mmm Baby)

17. Maybe it was Memphis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE3Daw4opDw


Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree

What was I supposed to do
Standin' there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer nights beauty took my breath away

What was I supposed to do
Standin' there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Every night now once I've been back home
I lie awake at night drifting in my memory
I think about you on your momma's front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me

What was I supposed to do
Standin' there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
You know it sure felt right...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEMuAnFH_lM&feature=related

Tuesday Afternoon
Moody Blues

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

[lizziegrace]

21. "Nothin 'Bout Memphis"

live video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs7cNbq4-I4 (quality is meh...)


Trisha Yearwood performed

Can’t believe I'm back here again
Feels like a lifetime and a thousand miles since then
It was just one summer night but the kind of night you never can forget
And I'm here with my baby and were driving downtown
Thinks I’ve never been here, wants to show me around

But he don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know, this was our town
All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis

Don't want to look him in the eye
Scared he might see what I remember of that night
We were dancing on the water
We were singing “hallelujah” to the stars
And I know it would hurt him, if he could see my past
He thinks he’s the only one who’s touched me like that

But he don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town
All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis

Sweet sweet Memphis…all the good times we had
Ain’t no harm in looking back no no no

He don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town
All he sees is that mighty Mississippi and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis
Sweet sweet Memphis
==============================================================================

22. Walk like an Egyptian

The Bangles - walk like an Egyptian

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian





Its Ancient Egyptian name was Ineb Hedj ("The White Walls"). The name
"Memphis" (Μέμφις) is the Greek corruption of the Egyptian name of
Pepi I's (6th dynasty) pyramid, Men-nefer<4>, which became ⲙⲉⲛϥⲉ Menfe in Coptic.
Memphis was also known in Ancient Egypt as Ankh Tawy ("That which binds the Two Lands"),
thus stressing the strategic position of the city between Upper and Lower Egypt.
The Egyptian historian Manetho referred to Memphis as
Hi-Ku-P'tah ("Place of the Ka of Ptah"),
which he wrote in Greek as Aί γυ πτoς (Ai-gu-ptos), giving us the Latin AEGYPTVS
and the modern English Egypt. The term Copt is also believed to be
etymologically derived from this name. In the Bible, Memphis is called Moph or Noph.

32. Charlie Pride, the baseball player. Things that make me think hmmm

He pitched for several other minor league teams, his hopes of making it to the
big leagues still alive. Pride appeared to be advancing to a career in baseball,
but the U.S. Army derailed this. After serving two years in the military,
he tried to return to baseball.<2> Though hindered by an injury to his throwing arm,
Pride briefly played for the Missoula Timberjacks of the Pioneer League
(a farm club of the Cincinnati Reds) in 1960, and had tryouts with the New York Mets
and California Angels organizations. When it became apparent that he was not destined
for greatness on the baseball diamond, Pride pursued a music career. <3>

On June 5, 2008, Charley, his brother, Mack "The Knife" Pride, and 28 other former
living Negro League players were "drafted" by each of the 30 Major League Baseball teams
in a recognition of the on-field achievements and historical relevance of 30
mostly forgotten Negro Leaguer stars. Charley was picked by the Texas Rangers
while his brother was taken by the Colorado Rockies.<2><3>

31. Queen of Memphis

http://www.confederaterailroad.net/video2.htm

Artist: Confederate Railroad
Song: Queen Of Memphis

I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime
I thought that big old city would ease my Georgia mind
After just one hour, I met a Southern girl
She said they call me the Queen of Memphis
And then she took me around the world

CHORUS
I saw stars dancing on the water
I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
That old muddy river was my witness
The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis

I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms
She showed me things I'd never seen back there on that farm
She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams
A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen

REPEAT CHORUS

Just like that old man river she keeps rolling through my mind
And you know I won't forget her 'cause she was one of a kind

REPEAT CHORUS

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. Good One! Thanks

36. Great Nashville Railroad Disaster (Braddock & Vanhoy)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q92KJqv1qDE

one sultry summer morning
in the year of 1918
three hundred men
with ebony skin
pulled out of union station
headin out of nashville
for western tennessee
homeward bound
cause uncle sam closed down
the munitions factory

at that very moment
on the cheatham county line
old number one train
from memphis
was runnin way behind
back in the smoky club car
a memphis gamblin man
said gentlemen
i'm foldin these cards
cause i drew a deadman's hand

a young man in a milk truck
out near dutchman's grade
said o my god
two trains on one track
then he closed his eyes
and he prayed
a sister from the orphan's home
made a a cross upon her chest
cause one iron beast
was comin from the east
and another one
was comin from the west ...

Underneath a pork pie hat

Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever
Record this song

CHORUS TWICE

BRIDGE:
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
Maybe there's somethin' in the air
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff

If we could just get off-a
that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get ourselves a decent meal
Down at the Rendez-vous

'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, it's gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin

And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come back home
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac
And change the message on the Code-a-Phone

But...

39. Hold Steady - Sequestered In Memphis

Off of one of the best albums of last year.

[blockhead]

40. Joe Jackson - Memphis

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

I got to get away, study my geography
I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
I used to see the light, now it's all a mystery
I used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from...

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

I used dirty words never too excessively
But saying "rock&roll" never seemed so bad to me
I dare said it in hip and happy company
I was in and out in a second on my way to...

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

Memphis, so where the hell is memphis?

I had a one-way ticket and a little radio
I turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years ago
Somebody smiled and said, that's the only way to go
He died at twenty-one, now nobody's innocent in...

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree
He wrote that sort of turn people out to anarchy
He made them think about marlon brando on tv
I guess they still went down against anything they got in...

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me
He said, memphis is nothing like it used to be
A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetry
I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about...

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

I'm on a lonesome train on a lonesome track
I think I'll jump right off, head for home, double back
And though I'm better now I know that no-one knows the facts
I'm gonna start again, forget I ever heard about...

[Zomby Woof]

41. Big Train (From Memphis)

A song about Elvis, from John Fogerty's "Centerfield" album:

When I was young, I spent my summer days playin’ on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin’ on the steel took me out, took me back.

Chorus:
Big train from Memphis, big train from Memphis,
Now it’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Like no one before, he let out a roar, and I just had to tag along.
Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head, and the dream was a song.

Chorus

Well I’ve rode ’em in and back out again - you know what they say about trains;
But I’m tellin’ you when that Memphis train came through,
This ol’ world was not the same.

[Bake]

51. Also done by the Seldom Scene (bluegrassers).

42. Long Way From Memphis

Lonnie Mack collaborated with Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1984, as a sequel to Mack's instrumental cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis", which was a Top 20 hit for him in 1963.

"Strike Like Lightning" is a great album, I highly recommend it:
