Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me to find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number
But I know who made the call
'Cause she left it with my uncle
And he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information
Get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone 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
She did not leave her number
But I know who made the call
'Cause my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall
Yes he did, y'all
Help me, information (Help me)
More than that I cannot add (Help me)
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
But we was torn apart
'Cause her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home
Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee, y'all
Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With a hurry home drop on her cheek
That trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old
Information, please
Try to get me through to her
Memphis, Tennessee
Marie is only six years old
Information, please
Try and get me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee
Help me
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
