Lo-ong distance information
Give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party
Tryin' to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

Ahh, 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

Ahh, 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 mum did not agree
And tore apart our happy home
In Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie
She was waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eye
My Marie is only six years old
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis Tennessee
