Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me

She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call

'cause my uncle took a 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 south side, high up on the ridge

Just a half-a-mile from the Mississippi bridge



Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye

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

But we were pulled apart because her Mom did 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
