Long distance information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find a party

That tried to get in touch with me

She did not leave a 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 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

She 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

Got to get me through to her

In Memphis, Tennessee
