Long distance information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Try to find the party

Trying to get in touch with me

She would not leave her number

But I know who placed the call

Cos my uncle took the message

And he wrote it on the wall



Help me, information

Get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd phone me here

From Memphis, Tennessee

Her home is on the south side

Just beyond the ridge

Just a half a mile

From the Mississippi Bridge



Help me, information

More than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her

And all the fun we had

We were pulled apart

Because her mom would not agree

Help me get in touch with her

In Memphis, Tennessee



The last time I saw Marie

She was waving me goodbye

With hurry homedrops on her cheek

That trickled from her eyes

Marie is only six years old

Information please

Help me get in touch with her

In Memphis, Tennessee
