[B] [E]
[B] Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find a party and try to get in touch with me.
[E] She could not leave a number, but I know her place to call.
Cause Mom took [B] the message and they wrote it [E] on the wall.
[B] Help me information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who would call me from Memphis, Tennessee.
[E] And on this old south side, high up on the ridge,
just a half [B] a mile from the [E] Mississippi.
[B] [B]

[E]
And it's time for sobriety, she would wave to me goodbye.
Hurry home, drive soft, she'd better trickle from right.
[E] But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree.
And so [B] brought her happy home in Memphis, [E] Tennessee.
[B] Help me information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
[E] Marie's only six years old, information please.
Try to put [B] me through to her in Memphis, [E] Tennessee.
