Memphis Tennessee Lyrics

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee



Help me find the party try 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 operator get in touch with my Marie



She's the only one who'd called me here from Memphis Tennessee



Her home is on the southside high up on a ridge



Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge



[ harmonica ]



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



Hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes



We were torn apart because her mom could 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 get the message please



Help to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
