Roy Orbison - The Singles Collection (1965-1973)

Memphis Tennessee

Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find the party tryin' to get in touch with me.
She could not leave a number, but I know the place to call,
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 up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

Well, last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye,
With "hurry home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyes.
We were pulled apart because her Mom could 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 6 years old. So information, please,
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.
