Memphis Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Well, long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party tried to get in touch with me, hah
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
Because my uncle took the message, and he wrote it on the wall Yes, he did

[Verse 2]
Well, help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high above the ridge
I said, just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
Whoooa

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
Ah, with hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Well, we were pulled apart because her mother did not agree
You know, you tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

[Verse 4]
Yeah, help me, information, Lord, more than that I cannot add
Well, only that I miss her, yeah, and all the fun we had
Well, Marie is only six years old, information, please
You gotta help me get in touch with her in Memphis, Tennessee

[Outro]
Said I told you, Memphis

Waaah, wow
Cannot breathe
Tenness-ssee
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, oh, waaah
