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 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, high up on a 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   But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree   And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee      Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye   With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye    Marie is only six years old, information please   Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee               --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
