Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
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.
My uncle took the message, and he wrote on the wall.
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high up on the ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.
SOLO
Help me information, more than this I cannot add.
Only that I miss Marie and all the fun we had.
But we were put apart because her ma did not agree,
Torn apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye.
Hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old, oh information, please,
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.
