All the Way from Memphis

Forgot my six-string
razor, hit the sky

Half way to Memphis
Ôfore I realised
Well I rang the
information,
my axe was cold

They said she rides
the train to Oreoles
Now itÕs a mighty long
way down the dusty trail
and the sun burns
hot on the cold steel rails
AnÕ I look like a bum
anÕ I crawl like a snail
(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Well I got to Oreoles
yÕknow, it took a month
And there was my
guitar, electric junk
Some spade said
rock nÕ rollers, youÕre
all the same

Man thatÕs your
instrument, I felt so
ashamed

Now itÕs a mighty long
way down rock nÕ roll
through the Bradford
cities and the Oreoles
AnÕ you look like
a star but youÕre still
on the dole

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Instrumental

Yeah its a mighty long
way down rock nÕ roll
from the Liverpool docks
to the Hollywood Bowl
AnÕ you climb up the
mountains anÕ you fall
down the holes

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Yeah itÕs a mighty long
way down rock nÕ roll
as your name gets hot
so your heart grows cold
AnÕ you gotta stay
young man, you can
never be old

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Yeah itÕs a mighty long
way down rock nÕ roll
through the Bradford
cities and the Oreoles
AnÕ you look like a
star but youÕre really
out on parole

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis
