The Statler Brothers - Memphis Tennessee lyrics

Long distance information get 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

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's 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

The last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye

Hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes

We were torn apart because her mom would not agree

Tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me operator more than this I cannot add

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

Marie is only six years old get the message please

Help me put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
