Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me
He could not leave a number but I know who placed the call
The phone bill took the message and the 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 up on 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
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
The journey home in drops that took the teardrop from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information, please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
