Well, long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennesee
Help me find a party
That tried to get in touch with me
They did not leave a number
But I know who placed the call
Cos my uncle took the message
& he wrote it on
the wall
Yeh, help me, information
Get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here
From Memphis, Tennesee
Her home is on the southside
High upon the ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
Oh help me, information
More than that I cannot add
Only that I niss her
& all the fun we had
Marie was torn apart because
Her mum did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
In Memphis, Tennessee
Oh last time I saw Marie
She was wavin me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
Trickle from her eye
Marie is only 6 years old,
Information please,
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee
