Memphis Tennessee Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Long distance information get me Memphis Tennessee 

Help me find the party tried to get in touch with me 

She would not leave her number but I know who placed the call 

Cause 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 call me here from Memphis Tennessee 

Her home is on the southside it's high up on a ridge 

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge 

[ ac.guitar ] 

The last time I saw Marie she was a waving me goodbye 

With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes 

But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree 

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee 

Help me information more than that I cannot add 

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had 

Marie is only six years old information please 

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
