Long distance information
Give me Memphis Tennessee
And help me find the party
That tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave a number
But I know who placed the call
My uncle took a message
And he wrote it on the wall
Help me operator
More than this I cannot add
She 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
Last time I saw Marie
She was wavin' me goodbye
With the "hurry-home"
Drops on her cheek that trickled in her eye
Yeah we were torn apart
Because me and her mama did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis
Tennessee
Help me operator get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis
Tennessee
Her real home is on the south side high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
