Memphis Tennessee Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

Long distance information give 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 

'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall 

So help me operator 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 high up on a ridge 

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge 

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

With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickle from her eyes 

But we were torn apart because her mom did not agree 

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee 

So help me information more than that I cannot add 

Only that I miss her so and all the fun we had 

Marie is only six years old so information please 

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee 

So try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
