Long distance Information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
They would not leave a number, but I know who placed to call
My uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, Information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who could call from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, 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
With "hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eye
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only 6 years old, oh, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
