Memphis, Tennessee Lyrics

Long distance information

give me Memphis Tennessee.

Try to find the party

trying to get in touch with me.

She would not leave her number

but I know who placed the call.

'Cos 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 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 I saw Marie

she was waving me goodbye,

with hurry homedrops on her cheek

that trickled from her eyes.

Marie is only six years old,

information please.

Help me get in touch with her

in Memphis Tennessee.
