[00:36.44]Forgot my six-string razor - hit the sky
[00:43.69]Half way to memphis 'fore I realised
[00:50.05]Well I rang the information - my axe was cold
[00:57.55]They said she rides the train to oreoles
[01:04.01]Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
[01:07.09]And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
[01:10.31]'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail
[01:16.30]All the way from memphis
[01:25.58]Well I got to oreoles y'know - it took a month
[01:32.72]And there was my guitar, electric junk
[01:39.05]Some spade said rock'n'rollers, you're all the same
[01:45.83]Man that's your instrument. I felt so ashamed
[01:52.63]Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
[01:56.20]Through the bradford cities and the oreoles
[01:59.57]'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole
[02:04.99]All the way from memphis
[02:34.10]Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
[02:37.45]From the liverpool docks to the hollywood bowl
[02:41.08] 'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes
[02:46.42]All the way from memphis
[02:47.90]Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
[02:51.11] As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
[02:54.73] 'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old
[03:00.36] All the way from memphis
[03:01.83]Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
[03:05.09] Through the bradford cities and the oreoles
