My momma [B] took the message and they wrote it [E] on the wall.

She's the only one who would call me from Memphis, Tennessee.

[B] Last time I saw Marie, she was waiting me to buy.
Her home drops on her cheek that trickle from her eye.

[B] Help me information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
[E] Marie is only six years old.
Information, please try to [B] put me through to her in Memphis, [E] Tennessee.
