Memphis, Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party, tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know the place to call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Long distance information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who's called 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

Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
Hurry home, drops on a cheek, a trickle from her little eye
We were torn apart because her daddy did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Long distance operator, on to this I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six-years old, so information, please
Try to get me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
