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
  Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
