Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

She could not leave her number but i know who placed the call

My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me information to get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee

Her home is on the southside, high upon a 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

The last time i saw Marie she was waving me goodbye

With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

Marie is only six years old, information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
