Memphis

Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

Yeah

Help me information
get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here
from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the Southside,
High upon a ridge
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi bridge

Yeah

( Instrumental )

Help me information
More than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart
Because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
In Memphis, Tennessee

Yeah

 Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old,
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee
