All the Way from Memphis

Forgot my six-string
razor, hit the sky

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

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

Well I got to Oreoles
y�know, it took a month
And there was my
guitar, electric junk
Some spade said
rock n� rollers, you�re
all the same

Man that�s your
instrument, I felt so
ashamed

Now it�s a mighty long
way down rock n� roll
through the Bradford
cities and the Oreoles
An� you look like
a star but you�re still
on the dole

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Instrumental

Yeah its a mighty long
way down rock n� roll
from the Liverpool docks
to the Hollywood Bowl
An� you climb up the
mountains an� you fall
down the holes

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Yeah it�s a mighty long
way down rock n� roll
as your name gets hot
so your heart grows cold
An� you gotta stay
young man, you can
never be old

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis

Yeah it�s a mighty long
way down rock n� roll
through the Bradford
cities and the Oreoles
An� you look like a
star but you�re really
out on parole

(spoken)
All the way from
Memphis
