Lyrics
Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find a party
Try to get in touch with me
She did not leave a 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
Always on the south side
High upon a ridge
About a half a mile from
The Mississippi bridge
Girl, 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 mama did not agree
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 mama did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
In Memphis, Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks
Trickled from her eyes
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
