[Verse 1]
B
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
B
Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me
    E
She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
B                                              E
My uncle took the message, and he wrote on the wall
 
[Verse 2]
B
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
B
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
    E
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
B                                       E
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
 
[Verse 3]
B
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
B
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
    E
But we were torn apart, because her ma did not agree
    B                                           E
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
B
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
  E
Marie is only six years old, oh information, please
B                                               E
Try and put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
