Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Try to find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She would not leave her number
But I know who placed the call
Cos my 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
Just beyond the 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
We were pulled apart
Because her mom would not agree
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee

The last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry homedrops on her cheek
That trickled from her eyes
Marie is only six years old
Information please
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee

I was born in a gold mine
You were born by the sea
Without nothing, we got something
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee

Rain outside my window
Rain inside my head
Loneliness inside my heart
Emptiness in my bed, girl
Emptiness in my bed

You've got the love
That I need
That I'm dreaming of

I was born to love you
You were born to resist
I would give everything I've got
To live inside your kiss, girl
To live inside your kiss

You've got the love
That I need
That I'm dreaming of

I was born in a gold mine
You were born by the sea
Without nothing we got nothing
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee
