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

'Cause my uncle took the mes-sage and he wrote it on the wall

G
Help me, in-for-ma-tion, get in touch with my Ma-rie

      G
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Mem-phis Ten-nes-see

    C
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge

         G7                                               C
Just a half a mile----- from the Mis-sis-sip-pi Bridge

Help me, in-for-mation, 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 did not agree

         G7                                     C
And tore apart our happy home in Mem-phis Ten-nes-see
[Play Riff] [Verse 4]
G
Last time I saw Ma-rie she's waving me good-bye

G
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trick-led from her eye

    C
Ma-rie is only six years old, in-for-ma-tion please

         G7                                     C
And try to put me through to her in Mem-phis Ten-nes-see
