Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee

Help me find a party, tried to get in touch with me

She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call

'Cause uncle took the number and he wrote it on the wall

Oh, help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one that'd call from Memphis Tennessee

Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

The last time I saw my Marie she was waving me goodbye

Hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyes

We were torn apart because her mom did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me, operator, more than this I cannot add

Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had

Marie is only six years old, information please

Please help put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
