Long distance information
give me Memphis Tennessee.
Help me find the party
tryin` to get in touch with me.
She could not leave a number
but I know who placed the call.
But 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 phone me here
from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the Southside
high upon the ridge
just a half from 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 have.
But we were pulled apart
`Cause her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
in Memph. Tenn.
Last time I saw Marie
she`s waving me good-bye.
With hurry homedrops on her cheek
that trickles from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old
information please!

in Memphis Tenn.
