Long distance, information |
|
Give me Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Trying to find the party |
|
Trying to get in touch with me |
|
She would not leave her number |
|
But I know who placed the call |
|
The phone-boy took the message |
|
And he wrote it on the wall |
|
Help me, information |
|
Get in touch with my Marie |
|
She's the only one who'd phone me here |
|
From Memphis, Tennessee |
|
Her home is on the south side |
|
Just beyond the ridge |
|
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge |
|
Help me, information |
|
More than that I cannot add |
|
Only that I miss her |
|
And all the fun we had |
|
We were pulled apart, because |
|
Her mom would not agree |
|
Help me get in touch with her |
|
In Memphis, Tennessee |
|
The last time that I saw Marie |
|
She was waving me goodbye |
|
With hurry-home drops on her cheek |
|
That trickeled from her eye |
|
Marie is only six years old |
|
Information, please |
|
Help me get in touch with her |
|
In Memphis, Tennessee |
