Lyrics

Well, long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
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
'Cause my uncle took the message, and he wrote it on the wall
Yeah, 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 Mississippi Bridge
Oh, help me, Information, more than that, I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie was torn apart because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
Oh, last time I saw Marie, she's wavin' me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek, trickle from her eye
Marie is only six years old, Information, please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
Written by: Chuck Berry, Danyel Gérard, Pierre Barouh
