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
