She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee E Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge B7E Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

B7 Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye E But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree B7E And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had E Marie is only six years old, information please B7E Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
