Verse 1
E
B7
Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee,
help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me
E
They would not leave a number, but I know the place to call,
B7 E
'cause my uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall
Verse 2
B7
Long Distance Information, get in touch with my Marie
she's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee
E
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
B7 E
just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.
Verse 3
Long Distance Information, more than that I cannot add,
only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were torn apart because her Mom did not agree,
and tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
Verse 4
Now, last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye,
with "hurry home" drops on her cheeks a trickle from her eyes
Marie is only 6 years old. Information, please,
try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
Verse 5
Yes, oh, yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge, I'll pay,
but which loved one is calling me? I did not hear you say
Both are deep within my heart, her Mom and my Marie,
it's so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee
Verse 6
Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know,
surely you have not forgot how much I love you so
If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me,
maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee
Verse 7
Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave
you didn't want to see me off, and promised not to grieve
My heart was torn apart, as I looked back at Marie,
and there the pieces still remain with you in Tennessee
Verse 8
I Guess I should stop talking, after all, you placed the call,
but any way that I can help. you know I'll help you all
Then her mother told me to come back and see Marie,
and live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee
