I was told as a child that this song was about a little boy trying to contact his girlfriend because her mother moved her away, but I know a guy that insists it is about a man and his girlfriend. Which is it?
Memphis, Tennessee (song lyric)
Long Distance Information give me Memphis Tennessee.
Help me find a party trying to get in touch with me.
She could not leave her number, but I know a place to call.
'Cos 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 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.
Help me information, more than that I cannot add -
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
But we were pulled apart because her Mum did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee.
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me goodbye
With hurry-home-drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye.
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee.
