Memphis, Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

She could 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, 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 get me through to her in Memphis,Tennessee

Alright

Well, you'd better 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, high up on a ridge

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Alright

Well, the last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye

With hurry home tears on her cheeks that trickled on down her eye

Marie was pulled apart because her mom did not agree

She pulled apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

In Memphis, Tennessee

I gotta get back home

To my little Marie

Yes, Memphis, Tennessee
