Memphis

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
'Cause uncle took the number and he wrote it on the wall

Oh, help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one they call from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high above the ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

The last time I saw my Marie she was waving me goodbye
Hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
We were torn apart because her mom could not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Help me, operator, more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
Please help put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
