Memphis

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
 Help me find the party, try to get in touch with me
 She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
 'Cause my uncle took the message, and he wrote it on the wall
 Help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie
 She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
 Her home is on the Southside, 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
 "Hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
 We were torn apart because her mom would not agree
 And 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
 Help to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
