Long distance information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party

Tryin' to get in touch with me

She could 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 phone for me here

From Memphis, Tennessee

Her home is on the south side

High up on a ridge

Just a half a mile

From the Mississippi bridge



Help me information

More than that I can not add

Only that I miss her

And all the fun we had

But we were pulled apart

Because her mom did not agree

And tore apart our happy home

In Memphis, Tennessee



Last time I saw Marie

She was wavin' me goodbye

With hurry-home drops on her cheek

That trickled from her eye

Well Marie is only six years old

Information please

Try to put me through to her

In Memphis, Tennessee



So long distance information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party

Tryin' to get in touch with me

Well Marie is only six years old

Information please

Try to put me through to her

In Memphis, Tennessee
