[Verse 1]
Yes, oh yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge, I'll pay
Which loved one is calling me, I did not hear you say
Both are deep within my heart, her Mom and my Marie
It's so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know
Surely, you have not forgot how much I love you so
If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me
Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave
You did not want to see me off and promised not to grieve
My heart was torn apart as I looked back at my Marie
And there the pieces still remain with you in Tennessee

[Verse 4]
I guess I should stop talking, after all you placed the call
But anyway that I can help, you know I'll help you all
Then she spoke and asked me to come back and see Marie
And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee
