Jerry Carlson - Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party that tries 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 thought of me from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Last time that I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me operator, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Your know she´s only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Help me operator, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Your know she´s only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
