Memphis, Tennessee Lyrics - Sammy Kershaw

Long distance information 

Give me Memphis, Tennessee 

Help me find the party 

Tryin' 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 

Help me information 

Get in touch with my Marie 

She's the only one who'd phone for me here 

From Memphis, Tennessee 

Her home is on the south side 

High up on a ridge 

Just a half a mile 

From the Mississippi bridge 

Help me information 

More than that I can not add 

Only that I miss her 

And all the fun we had 

But we were pulled apart 

Because her mom did not agree 

And tore apart our happy home 

In Memphis, Tennessee 

Last time I saw Marie 

She was wavin' me goodbye 

With hurry-home drops on her cheek 

That trickled from her eye 

Well Marie is only six years old 

Information please 

Try to put me through to her 

In Memphis, Tennessee
