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
