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
