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
My uncle took the message
and he wrote it on the wall
<Interlude>
Help me information to get
in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd
phone me here from Memphis
Tennessee Her home is
on the southside
high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from
the Mississippi bridge
<Interlude>
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
because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
in Memphis, Tennessee
<Inrterlude>
The last time I saw Mari
she was waving me goodbye
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
