Memphis

Well, Long Distance Information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find a party

That tried to get in touch with me

Did not leave a number

But I know who placed the call

'Cause my uncle took the message

And he wrote it on the wall

Yeah, 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 southside

High upon a ridge

Just a half a mile

From the Mississippi Bridge

Oh help me, Information

More than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her

And all the fun we had

Marie was torn apart

Because her mom did not agree

Tore apart our happy home

In Memphis, Tennessee

Oh last time I saw Marie

She's wavin' me goodbye

With hurry home drops on her cheek

Trickle from her eye

Marie is only six years old

Information, please

Try to put me through to her

In Memphis, Tennessee
