Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She would 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
It's high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi Bridge
The last time I saw Marie
She was a waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks
That trickled from her eyes
But we were pulled apart
Because her mom would 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
