Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me
She would 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, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just about 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 'cause her Mom would not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Maria she was waving me good bye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
'rie is only six years old. Information, please
Try and put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
