Long-distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave her 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
