Long distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Help me find the party try 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 |
|
Help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie |
|
She's the only one who's called me here from Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Her home is on the southside, high up on a ridge |
|
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge |
|
The last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye |
|
Hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes |
|
We were torn apart because her mom would not agree |
|
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Help me, operator, more than this I cannot add |
|
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had |
|
Marie is only six years old, get the message, please |
|
Help me, put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee |
