Memphis, Tennessee

Long distance information get me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party try 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 southside, it's high up on a ridge

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

The last time I saw Marie she was a waving me goodbye

With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes

But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

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 put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee...
