Memphis

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me

She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call

My uncle took the message, and he wrote on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie

She's the only 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

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her and all the times we had

But we were torn apart, because her ma did not agree

She 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 times we had

But we were torn apart, because her ma did not agree

She 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 trickled from her eye

Marie is only six years old, oh information, please

Try and put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
