Long distance information 
give me Memphis Tennessee. 
Try to find the party 
trying to get in touch with me. 
She would not leave her number 
but I know who placed the call. 
'Cos 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 
just beyond the 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. 
We were pulled apart 
because her mom would not agree. 
Help me get in touch with her 
in Memphis Tennessee. 

The last time I saw Marie 
she was waving me goodbye, 
with hurry homedrops on her cheek 
that trickled from her eyes. 
Marie is only six years old, 
information please. 
Help me get in touch with her 
in Memphis Tennessee.
