Memphis Tennessee

Long distance, information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Trying to find the party

Trying to get in touch with me

She would not leave her number

But I know who placed the call

The phone-boy 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 phone me here

From Memphis, Tennessee

Her home is on the south side

Just beyond the ridge

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

Help me, information

More than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her

And all the fun we had

We were pulled apart, because

Her mom would not agree

Help me get in touch with her

In Memphis, Tennessee

The last time that I saw Marie

She was waving me goodbye

With hurry-home drops on her cheek

That trickeled from her eye

Marie is only six years old

Information, please

Help me get in touch with her

In Memphis, Tennessee
