Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
|
Help me find a 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 upon a 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
|
