Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me.

She	could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call.

	D7	C	G
'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 called me here from Memphis, Tennessee.

Her home is on the south side, high upon 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.

But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree,

Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye;

With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.

Marie is only six years old; information please:

Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee!
