Jones Tom Memphis Tennessee Lyrics

Memphis Tennessee Lyrics

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

 But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree

 And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

 

 Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye

 With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

 Marie is only six years old, information please

 Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
