Lyrics
Long distance information gave me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but I know who placed the call
Cause my uncle took the 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 up on the ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
Help me information more than that I cannot ask
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
Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
The hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
We were pulled apart because her Ma would not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
