Long distance in formation, 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
  
 
 Help me information more than that I cannot add
 
 Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
 
 Marie is only six years old, information please
 
 Try to get me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
