Also a # 5 instrumental hit for Lonnie Mack in 1963. Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call 'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie She's the only one who'd call me here 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 I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye 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, information, more than that I cannot add Only that I miss her and all the fun we had Marie is only six years old, information please Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee Transcribed by Ronald E.
