  Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
  She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
  Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
  With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

  She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
  Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
  But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
  Marie is only six years old Information please

  'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
   Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
   And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
   Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
