Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee

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

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

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

Marie is only six years old, information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
