Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee

Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

She did not leave her number but I know the place to call

The phone boy took the message and he wrote it on the wall



I said 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, high up on a ridge

About a half a mile from the Mississipi bridge



Oh help me information, more than this I cannot add

Only that I love Marie and all the fun we had

But we were pulled apart now 'cause her momma did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee



I said help me information, more than this I cannot add

Only that I miss Marie and all the fun we had

But she was pulled apart from me 'cause her momma did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee



Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye

With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickl'd from her eye

Marie is only six years old, so information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

I said try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Oh won't you put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
