[Verse 1]
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
And help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
Because my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

[Verse 2]
Yeah, help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Hеr home is on the south side, high up on a ridgе
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

[Verse 3]
Yeah, help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had
Well, we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

[Verse 4]
Yeah, last time I saw Marie, she's a-waving me goodbye
With a-hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie was only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
