[Hook]
Long distance information
Give me Memphis Tennessee.
Help me find a party
Trying to get in touch with me.
She could not leave a number
But I know who placed the call.
My Uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall, oh yeah.
Help me information
Get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who'd call me
Here from Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side
High upon a ridge.
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi bridge, oh yeah.
Help me, information
More than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had.
We were torn apart
Because her Pa did not agree.
She tore apart our happy home
In Memphis Tennessee.
Well, I'm on my way
Down in Memphis Tennessee.
Till I'm on my way
Down in Memphis Tennessee.
I say that I'm on my way
Down in Memphis Tennessee.
On my way in Memphis Tennessee.
So, Baby don't you get up tight.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Soon as I get rolling down
In Memphis Tennessee.
