Memphis, Tennessee

Long-distance information, give me Memphis
Tennessee help me find the party trying to
Get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but
I know the place to call
The phone boy took the message and
He wrote it on the wall

I said help me information get
In touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone
Me here from Memphis tennessee
Her home is on the south side
High up on a ridge about a half a mile
From the Mississippi bridge

Oh help me information
More than this I cannot add
Only that I love Marie and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart now 'cause
Her momma did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis
Tennessee i said help me information
More than this I cannot add
Only that I miss Marie and all the fun we had
But she was pulled apart from me
'cause her momma did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis
Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickl'd from her eye
Marie is only six years old
So information please

Tennessee i said try to put me
Through to her in Memphis, tennessee
Oh won't you put me through
To her in Memphis, tennessee
