Memphis Tennessee Lyrics

Memphis Tennessee lyrics

Lo-ong distance information

Give me Memphis Tennessee 

Help me find
the party 

Tryin' to get in touch with me 

She could not leave her
number

But I know who placed the call 

My uncle took the message


And he wrote it on the wall 



Ahh, 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 



Ahh, 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 



Last time I saw Marie 

She was waving me
good-bye 

With hurry home drops on her cheek 

That trickled from
her eye 

My Marie is only six years old

Information please 

Try to put me through to her 

In Memphis Tennessee
