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
   Bud we were pulled apart
   because her mom did not agree
   And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
  
   The last time I saaw Marie,
   she's waving me goodbye
   With hurry home drops on her creek,
   that trickle from her eye
   Marie is only six years old,
   and information please
   Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
