Memphis Tennessee Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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
