Memphis, Tennessee Lyrics

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
'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 call 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

Come on, put me through! Get me her number!

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, her mom and dad did not agree
And it tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she was waving me good-bye
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
Put me through!
