Memphis, Tennessee

Long Distance Information

Give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find a party

Trying to get in touch with me

She could not leave a number

but I know who placed the call

Cos my uncle took a message

And he wrote it on a wall

Help me, information

get in touch with my Marie

She´s only one who´d call me here

From Memphis, Tennessee

Her home is on a south side

High upon a Ridge

Just a half of mile

From the Mississippi Bridge

So 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

Well, the last time I saw her

She was waving me goodbye

With hurry-home drops in her cheek

That trippled from her eye

Mary is only six years old

So information, please

Try to put me through to her

To Memphis, Tennessee
