Well, Long Distance Information |
|
Give me Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Help me find a party |
|
That tried to get in touch with me |
|
Did not leave a number |
|
But I know who placed the call |
|
'Cause my uncle took the message |
|
And he wrote it on the wall |
|
|
|
Yeah, 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 southside |
|
High upon a ridge |
|
Just a half a mile |
|
From the Mississippi Bridge |
|
|
|
Oh help me, Information |
|
More than that I cannot add |
|
Only that I miss her |
|
And all the fun we had |
|
Marie was torn apart |
|
Because her mom did not agree |
|
Tore apart our happy home |
|
In Memphis, Tennessee |
|
|
|
Oh last time I saw Marie |
|
She's wavin' me goodbye |
|
With hurry home drops on her cheek |
|
Trickle from her eye |
|
|
|
Marie is only six years old |
|
Information, please |
|
Try to put me through to her |
|
In Memphis, Tennessee |
